Fantastic stay

This property was amazing. The batch was great and had everything we needed as well as a fantastic big lawn which my kids loved. Best holiday we have had in a long time. My mother in law from Ireland was blown away by Matapouri beach. We can't wait until we can go back again

6/10 Okay

It seems the holiday house is not ready for use after the last guests check out.

All the beach towels remain on the chairs . The outdoor furniture and cusion are on the bed. There is no picture for the third bedroom. It’s just like storage room. Do not suitable for adult, maybe small kids. But it’s really too messy. There is no WiFi. We didn’t know there is no linen and towels. Kim helped this out. Thanks.
