Summary: Positive Aspects:The property overall was fine and met basic expectations.Rooms and facilities were generally in order.Areas of Concern:BBQ: The BBQ was not cleaned prior to our arrival. It took significant time to clean, and when we attempted to use it, the 9kg gas bottle was completely empty. We drove to several places to refill it but were unsuccessful, which caused considerable frustration and delays.Kitchen & Utensils: Cooking utensils were left dirty, and there was no scrub provided to clean pots properly. It appeared that previous guests had not cleaned up, and this was not addressed before our stay.Temperature: The upstairs rooms became very hot during the day, making them uncomfortable.Location: The property is located a significant distance from Taupo Centre. Most activities we planned were in Taupo or Rotorua, and even basic shopping required a 15–20 minute drive.Overall Impression: While the property itself was acceptable, the lack of cleanliness, empty gas bottle, and distance from amenities made the experience less enjoyable and more time-consuming than expected.
