Merv's place is great!

Merv's place was fantastic, including the pool for a nice plunge on a hot day. His back yard is lovely and we loved morning coffee sitting quietly and listening to the birds.

Overall, just an okay stay. Beautiful gardens surrounding the cottage, pool was a nice touch. Towels were old and worn, inside was dated compared to others at the same price. Worst part was the parking; I have no idea how someone is supposed to reverse park down a hill next to other cars and boats with a turn!

Thanks for feedback on towels etc will look to update those - the cottage is just that a holiday cottage so not 5 star interior etc but functional and clean - as for the driveway that’s just what hill properties are like - everyone seems to manage it as did you without incident so I think you comment on that is a little over played. Thanks for staying you definitely seemed to enjoy it at the time.

Mark was very accommodating and friendly. Room had everything and more. Beautiful views and pool to soak up the sunshine. Short walk to Stephens bay. Lovely garden and outdoor table/furniture. Great for birdwatching and had a local weka we saw a couple times. Overall 10/10 experience and we can't wait to come back!

This was a lovely stay - the home is within a 5- minute drive to Keiteriteri beach, the delicious eateries and grocery store there, and the boats taking us to trailheads of Abel Tasman Nat'l Park. The garden is just beautifu and provided a relaxing vibe;each day we really enjoyed sitting on the patio with drinks and food! There is a pool which our young 20's daughter loved "sunning" beside. The home is clean with comfortable. The store in town sold mixed spices which we purchased for simple meal making; plan for the freezer to hold just small frozen treats. Merv was a great host - responsive to our questions, easy check-in and check-out, and we loved chatting with him to hear the back story of their garden and life in this pretty spot of NZ. We highly recommend this home esp for a couple or family with younger kids (one of the beds is full size and best for littler ones!). Bring your beach gear and come over!

Good batch without full realistic description

It is very wrong not to advice the property location and communication opportunity before paiment. All other things results. Probably it is Bookabatch problem.

Kereru Cotrage

Nice, clean, comfortable cottage. Well appointed kitchen and lovely hot shower. Would have been a super holiday if weather had been good. Unfortunately weather beyond anyones' control. Drive is very steep and glad husband had reverse car down to parking spot.
