+The view was incredible, I could have sat there all day just taking it in. The amenities were great, everything was easy and comfortable, and the place was beautifully clean. Clearly well looked after. And yes… I’ll say it again, the view was the highlight.
−The only thing that let it down a little were the spiders. There were quite a few, and a couple even made surprise appearances from the ceiling while we were in bed… not ideal. Aside from that, everything else was fantastic.

+Comfy bed, beautiful location, lovely hosts! The view is second to none and the facilities are well stocked and laid out. L
−The shelf over the bathroom sink makes it really tough to brush your teeth.

“A pleasant, peaceful stay under Taranaki”
+Facilities were fantastic - really good cookware, the bathroom facilities especially the fancy shower head was awesome. Plenty of blankets and the bedding was super clean and cozy. Our hosts allowed us plenty of privacy and were quick responding in communication. We loved little Honey the pup who came to say Hi :)
−Our bad luck meant we stayed over a really windy and stormy night which meant the wind crept in through the joinery and the house swayed a little - but that’s all part of a tiny home adventure

“Lovely peaceful stay”
+Very good peaceful location, stunning sight of MT Taranaki. Tiny home was very cosy and warm. Very cute dog running around the property, which was super friendly. Communication with owners was very good.
−Quite a lot of cobwebs on the walls. Would of been good to have a small frying pan for cooking.

“Beautiful location if your wanting to see an amazing backdrop, morning and then evening. Very peaceful and quite, superb”
+The location was perfect although we didnt arrive early enough to see the sunset, we did get up early to see the sunrise, and the beautiful waiting there for us. Its was perfect.
−It was a pretty chilly night and it appears the bottom rubber door seals on both corners of the front door were worn. Could feel the breeze coming through. Other than that everything was perfect.

“The tiny house has potential, but our stay fell short of expectations.”
+The location and the view were superb. Couldn't ask for a better view of Mt Taranaki. The shower was great.
−There were a significant number of cobwebs both inside and outside the property. While we understand that the location may naturally attract spiders, the amount of buildup , especially across half the bathroom window, beside the bed, and along the central beam , suggested the space hadn't been cleaned in some time. During the windy nights, the tiny house shook and rattled quite severely, which kept us awake. Interestingly, the outdoor furniture remained unmoved, so it’s unclear whether the house is simply not well insulated against the wind. We were not informed in advance that there was a puppy on the property. A makeshift gate had been set up the day we arrived, built from sticks, plastic trellis, and twine. While it seemed intended to keep the puppy in, it felt unstable and not entirely safe. There were also thorny vines nearby, which led to a minor injury when closing the gate. The vanity shelf was placed directly above the sink in a way that made it difficult to rinse your mouth or face without hitting your head. The stairs to the loft were quite smooth and slippery , one of us actually slipped and was injured. Some non-slip treads would make a big difference here. The tiny ho
