Summary: The property is at a fantastic location. Lakeside meant that everyday swimming and adventuring was easy and stress free. Contact with the host in advance was clear and accessing the property was very easy. The property itself however is not accurately described in the listing. Marketed as a ‘classic kiwi bach’, the reality was a space seemingly neglected and run down. Major concerns were the mice that we visibly saw and heard at night. Windows that have seemingly for some time been leaking causing mould and damage to the curtains, walls and carpet and also the odd mix of things that past visitors had left in the fridge (perishables such as berries, ham and tomatoes) and also a lack of toilet paper, rubbish bags and dish liquid. There were also some minor concerns such as dirty towels that were left in the washing machine, very dirty windows, dirty bed sheets (fortunately brought our own, a broken dryer and the house was clearly not vacuumed. The photos are also not up to date so some furniture differs from reference pictures. I want so much to say that I enjoyed my time here but over the week spent at the property I ended up feeling more and more dirty and disappointed the more time I spent there. Being charged a cleaning fee for a place that clearly wasn’t cared for on our arrival is also hard to take and unfair.
