“I enjoyed the property and the owner was very helpful and welcoming. It was comfortable and private. The location is qui”
+I liked the location and it felt safe with security screens all round
−The bathroom situation and the lack of a cloths dryer. The weather was wet while I was there so almost impossible to dry cloths.

“Great little cottage, but needs some updating.”
+Very clean, all linen spotless, great location. Enjoyable little cottage to stay in.
−Both single mattresses need replacing, very uncomfortable. Kitchen in need of a larger fry pan and a microwave. Bath towels and some pillows need updating.

“I do not recommend staying at this house.”
+Extra bits and pieces like salt pepper cling wrap etc
−The single beds were very uncomfortable and sofa bed was horrendously uncomfortable with what felt like wood right up the middle with next to no padding. The bathroom is so small and it is impossible to dry yourself from the shower and not bump into everything. The bathroom and toilet have no ceiling and allows noise and odours to travel. The lounge is broken and has lost support and is uncomfortable to sit in. The house leaks when raining ( the refrigerator is sitting on a pallet) water runs in at the back door and ponds around the kitchen/living area. This space seems to be at ground level ( perhaps a converted car space) The smoke detectors don't adhere to regulations. No microwave No dishwasher Air-conditioning is moldy House smells damp and in need of a lot of renovation. Water damage on cabinet doors in kitchen and bathroom The high tide comes into the street so you need to park up on the grass.

“My family and I enjoyed our time in Lota using this little cottage as our base.”
+Lovely quiet location close to water and train station.
−The bathroom was tiny. The billiard table takes up a lot of space in the living area. No microwave.

+The property was fine. The owners was absolutely lovely and communicated very well.
−The beds were very squeaky and not very comfortable. The lounge was also very worn. Everything was fine.

“Best stay of our lives”
+We booked this on a whim when we had some last minute changes to our plan & I am SO glad we did. The place is kept very clean and has everything you would need & more. Valerie and her husband are very welcoming hosts. We loved having the bikes & kayaks, they made it so much fun. The area is stunning, beautiful birds & lots of possums around at night. Really quiet and peaceful. I also had a last minute small niche urgent issue, I needed some wire cutters for a piercing that had gone bad, an odd request for Valerie to receive I’m sure! But she asked around and found me a neighbour willing to help. So overall, really went above and beyond to make everything just perfect. On top of that, value for money is bananas!
−There isn’t a single thing we didn’t like, except the fact we couldn’t stay longer!!!!
