Thanks for your positive and full review, Much appreciated. And... you left a clean and tidy home the same as you enjoyed on your arrival. You are most welcome to stay another time there at my Moananui lodge Purau Bay waterfront or to try my La vie en rose cottage Akaroa holiday home. I look forward to your next enquiry. On a very rare occasion,with enquiries and confirmed bookings coming in from various sources especially at the most sought after time of the calendar, no matter how much checking and crosschecking is undertaken & believe me, I do this...sometimes a vacating date and an entry date for new guests might be at odds or confusing, or the booking sites get the dates wrong or haven't updated them correctly. Human error occurs in every facet of life in private and inbusiness ventures! The alternative, when new guests arrive and the 'in house guests aren't due to leave til the following day,' is a situation I would not want to ever happen or worse, a double booking would be horrendous, so constant cross checking is the way forward and much contact by owner and guest by all media means is frequent and vital. In the situation above, a final cross check showed up a discrepancy and so immediately, both the 'in house guests' booked to staying before the next incoming guests are due are contacted. As well the new incoming guest group is contacted to work out a resolution or compromise. This was done satisfactorily in plenty of time on this rare situation that arose. Temporary alternative accommodation arranged by the owner for one night,, might prove to be a last resort if necessary . It would still ensure that guests get their holiday time. In other situations, alternative dates could be agreed upon or a night held in credit for another time could also be a option. There's always a way! Whatever the situation, the owner would ensure his top priority is that guests are suitably catered for and looked after at all times! After nearly forty years in this business, the record is nothing short of excellent in regard to host hospitality and efficiency at not one, but several holiday accommodation venues owned and managed by the owner!

It would be good if any of the above was fact.! A very rare overlap caused by a discrepancy between available dates in regard to vrbo calendar bookings & owners was discovered & Immediately, the guests were phd & suitable alternative arrangements were put in place [a near impossible task at that high peak date 2 Jan] & these were made for just the 1st night of a 4 night stay by the guests. The other 3 nights were still booked at the Lodge starting from 12 noon on 3 Jan for the remainder of the guests booking. The other accommodation that the lodge owner swiftly & diplomatically managed to arrange at high noon time! were not one, but 2 fully self contained 2 bedroom units situated on a working farm in what used to be a fully operational motor camp. Only because the owner knew the owners well , was this able to become a reality. The units were immediately cleaned & equipped ready with all linen towels provided. These are situated about two minutes easy stroll from the Lodge & are also close to the beach front & to make it even easier, the owner arranged for all linen to b provided for that night[sheets pillowslips, towels, tea towels] where at the Lodge, it works on a Guests BYO linen basis . By having the first night fully set up like this, meant that the guests did not to provide & make beds up for their 1st nights stay so that they could use their own linen at the lodge for the next 3 nights . Being a working farm as well as a place of private only accommodation ,the guests dog was not included for that one night there. But wait! Above & beyond the call of duty, the owner arranged for a known dog carer & good friend/ neighbour across the road from the Lodge to take special care for the guest's dog for that 1 only evening in a caring & secure setting...the dog would have no doubt been spoiled & taken for a walk or swim along the beach that evening and likely the next morning as well! The guests could have easily strolled the 2 mins round after 10. 30 am next day & collected their dog & enjoyed him until they were able to book into the Lodge by about 11.30/ 12 noon for the duration of the 4 night stay at Purau. Due to Unreasonableness, non flexibility & a total lack of any appreciation by the guests in this very rare situation & despite the fact that the owner offered alternative dates at the venue & a full refund of 1 nights stay, the guests decided to cancel their 4 night stay. 4 nights were provided ..owner had fulfilled the booking.
