Beautiful house in a wonderful and calming setting. The communication with the owner was great. The property is great for a big family. However there are a few issues which needs to be addressed to make this a 5 star property. The property needs a really good clean outside and inside. Thick cobwebs which looks like has never been cleaned. Outside needs a good water blasting. Not enough kitchen utensils. The top oven didn’t work. There were bulbs missing from the light in the living and dining room. Sofa bed was broken downstairs. AC didn’t work in the upstairs room. Spa was leaking and the umbrella on top of the spa was broken. Rubbish was full outside. Beds were hard and not enough linen provided. If the owner takes note of all these improvements which other people seemed to have said as well this property would be awesome. For the price guests except a clean property with everything in working order. Would go again and recommend to others ONLY when these concerns get addressed.

Beautiful house in a beautiful setting, however, when we arrived we were very disappointed to find that the house had not been cleaned properly. Two of the showers drains were blocked with hairballs & filth the size of a small rat & there was blood on the back of bathroom door in sleepout, as well as toothpaste spit on mirrors. Kitchen surfaces were dirty, top oven didn't work, kitchen utensils were very scarce. Only 2 small pots & a dirty frypan. Many of the lights didn't work & also some of the fans in bathrooms. Spa pool was awesome after it heated up but there may be a leak as it was very green & slimy around it & quite dangerous. Not to mention the piece of glass that was found in the bottom. There were water balloons & smoke butts & rubbish around outside & the rubbish & recycle bins were full. Some of the windows & doors didn't latch close properly & the garage window was found swinging open because of this. Bed setees were terrible! We ended up just pulling the mattresses off & putting them on the floor. Other beds were hard as rocks! In the pictures it shows a BBQ, but there wasn't one so it was just lucky we were able to borrow one from family as we had planned to BBQ. This is a beautiful house in an amazing setting that just needs a lot of maintenance & for the price it is rented out for should be clean when guests arrive!

house was absolutely amazing to stay in, we were disappointed we couldn't have stayed for longer!! Property will definitely be at the top of my list for whenever I return to Tauranga. House was very clean and with the weather being not too great we were kept very comfortable and warm during our stay. Definitely a great place to stay can't find any fault with it! A big thank you to the host for also allowing us to check in a bit earlier as we were coming from out of town and had arrived earlier than expected
