“Ataahua te whare, ataahua te manaaki.”
+Nui te manaaki!! Hands on, close by, problem solver. Hands on Dad. Easy hospitable and respectful of privacy. A hard one to get right, and they definitely got it right.
−Nothing to not like.

−This is a pretty little cottage. However, I asked for an earlier check in well in advance and the owner responded they would see closer to the day (which I understand) if this was possible. I also wanted a sofa bed made up. Didn't get either. And no response from the owner asking if we could check in earlier. The owner was away and a nice couple were looking after the cottage. They did not get the message passed on about the sofa bed. They were responsive and asked if we needed help. Unfortunately, by the time we discovered there was no duvet for the sofa bed it was too late to bother them so one of us was cold during the night. Also the cottage could do with a good deep clean or a spring clean actually it is grubby in parts including the under the pull out bed and on it. Not just my observation either...partner also commented.

“Lovely place”
+Beautiful cottage.
−Parking having to carry bags up stairs. Lots of cobwebs inside. Got attacked by a random dog when walking up the road - nothing to do with property but if you are staying with a pet - recommend driving somewhere for a walk!

“A beautifully decorated cottage with historic charm.”
+A quaint cottage beautifully decorated. Very comfortable with everything we needed while we (a couple) were on a 2 night lay over, visiting family in Auckland. A very central property, handy to airport and motorways, located in a quiet neighbourhood with great shopping nearby. Christian (our host) was quick to sort out some booking issues upon our arrival and we enjoyed immensely, the company of Marlon Brando the cat. Would return again.
