Very comfortable, great location that we know well. Very close to the river for the fisherfolk. Dog friendly and neighbourhood dogs very friendly too! Easy to access and lovely, peaceful setting.

Great Breakaway

Quiet and peaceful stay. Close to town centre and trout fishing. Also close to Mt Ruapehu for snow activities. Great fireplace for the cold nights.

The house was good, location was fine. But we had no internet after the first night, we were told we had to buy more internet through Skinny, if we wanted to use more internet. You should state this happens in the information about the house when booking so people know i booked 6 nights i expected wiifi for those 6 nights.Also on your information sheet at the house you may want to mention how to use the rangehood as there is no instructions. Also while we were cooking we burnt the baccon for breakfast and had heaps of smoke which activated the smoke alam this was also connected to the house alarm there is no instructions for how to stop the alarm we got told the code from bachcare when they phoned to make sure we where ok. Also when you leave what cleaning do we need to do you where not clear with your instructions.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear you found the house and location suitable. We're sorry to learn about the confusion around the WiFi - the connection was confirmed to be working after your stay, and we’ve since added clearer instructions to assist future guests. It appears Skinny may have provided incorrect advice, and we would have been happy to help had we received a follow-up call. We’ve also updated the property information sheet to include instructions for the rangehood and the alarm system. Your comments around departure cleaning have been noted and we’ll look to improve clarity in our communications. Reputation & Resolutions Coordinators.
