Lovely host, whare just as described

It was great! We were testing out travelling with our indoor cat and it was perfect. A very chill spot with lovely people and a comfy, cozy little whare. The pool was awesome, too, though chilly enough to require a bit of bravery. Lots of tūī, pīwakawaka, riroriro, and happy magpies, too. Thank you!

Disappointing.

A very old 1 room - servant's quarters? - building that has been added on to with a kitchen, bathroom/laundry and done in a quite amateurish manner. The floor is several levels, the roof doesn't match, all in all quite a turn off. To call it "rustic" is a euphemism. I expected much better for the price. Never saw any sign of the host at all, we let ourselves in and left again in the morning without so much as a hello.
