Dark house

The house was dark and had 3 bulbs broken. The TV had no volume. We were ghere in a storm and the light in the lounge were dull and we felt like it was a cave. It was hard to find the tea and coffee. Only 2 wine glasses left also. Photos did not live up to the house.

Thanks for your feedback Shona. I imagine a dark cave wasn't what you were expecting when the photos made the house look so great. We think the storm before your stay did some electrical damage. As soon as the next guests came to stay they advised us of the lightbulbs and television issue. We immediately replaced lightbulbs and advised the owner who purchased a new television once we ascertained it was a fault. We always value guest communication during stays so we can sort any issues out. Wendy Bush to Bay Holiday Stays

Wonderful New Zealand Staycation

Wonderful property if you are looking for a place away from the city. Excellent and accurate communications with the property management team, many thanks Wendy. Check in was super easy and this was by far and away the best equipping residence that we have ever stayed in. The property had a large outdoor area including a kitchen plus a shaded area if you wanted to get out of the sun. We were only a block from the beach if the ocean is what you are looking for and there was great fishing in the nearby lakes if you bring your boat. I would also add the Opotiki Golf Club was accommodating and made it very easy to get out on their course. During our stay we were fortunate enough to have met the property owners, Caroline and Malcolm, and shared a glass of wine with them on the property’s spacious deck. They even invited us out to their Station, but sadly we weren’t able to take them up on their generous offer. Perhaps next time.
