Lovely and Cozy Stay

Sure! Here's a more casual version of your review:We had such a great stay at this place! Margret gave us a warm welcome, and the house was beautiful, super clean, and had an amazing view. We stayed with our two kids and felt right at home. The location is awesome too—really close to the Paihia beach market, which was super convenient. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a spot to stay in Haruru!

A very relaxing, peaceful place. The house is immaculately clean and comfortable, and the host helpful and welcoming. The location was excellent for us, close to Paihia but quiet and restful with lovely views of the tidal river. Thank you for your hospitality.

Relaxing spacious venue

Beds were super comfy, rooms were spacious and clean, carparking is shared driveway, large big deck with view of water and tress, large lounge and kitchen area. No laundry. Noting that there is a connected door from the owners house to the lounge area, that was always locked and closed. It did not impact on our stay. Highly enjoyed our stay here. Recommended.

Disliked: Communication
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The place was a lot better and bigger than we expected! For our stay, everything was clean. The only note about cleanliness is that while the bedding/towel was clean, it did seem dusty… maybe suggest bringing your own towel / pillows for comfort. Another point was that I struggled to get into contact with the host and didn’t receive any confirmation/check-in details in the days before the booking. The morning of the booking, I only just managed to get into contact with her, in which she didn’t know that we were coming (although everything was ready for us). However! She is really welcoming and pleasant… I believe there is just miscommunication on Vrbo’s part. Her phone number wasn’t available directly on the booking however I asked the help chat for it (although note that this is her personal mobile which she doesn’t have with her all the time & also you MUST CALL). Other than these points e.g. uneasiness with communication in the beginning & somewhat dusty bedding, this spot is well-worth your money. Views are incredible and location is superb - it has everything you need.

Lovely home with a caring, helpful host. Enjoyed the expansive views across the river valley. Not far from Paihia by car and Mr Google easily found the way. All day sun with a great deck. We were looking for a restful place to stay for a few days and it ticked all our boxes.

Beautiful view but very disappointed

We had a great time visiting the Paihia area and the house was beautiful with the most breathtaking views. However, we had some major concern about cleanliness and how often the house actually gets cleaned. It was difficult to get hold of the property manager prior to checking in. I have since reached out to make her aware of my concerns with the house and have yet to receive any acknowledgement or apology. The property manager / assumed owner also stays on the property with you effectively sharing a house. She stays on the one side that is accessed via a door in the house. She was very quiet and it didn't bother us at all, but it would have been great to know that at the time of booking. Overall we enjoyed our stay and made the best of it, but they seriously need to consider regular cleaners.

Disappointing stay

We used the stayz app to write to the host to check on the floods from the cyclone before our stay but got no response until I phoned. Host greeted us on arrival & showed us around as she lives next door. After returning from dinner, noticed house full of spiders & cobwebs with crickets & cockroach on the floor. Towels in bathroom were also stained. Very unfortunate. Had to depart after 1 night.
