9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (268)
"The chalet is very well appointed and in good condition. I liked the cosiness but with all the conveniences and appliances you might need. What I didn't like was the reliance on previous guests to make the place clean and ready for the next guests, with no obvious thorough check in between. In particular, the bed wasn't made up and it was very difficult to find the right sheets for the bed. Also, the instructions were unclear about how the laundry is dealt with between guests, eg is it...

"It's a good value cottage in a good location just a few minutes from National Park and close to Whakapapa. It could do with a good spring clean, but you can't argue the price. Previous guests could've done more to clean like empty the bins properly, but overall would recommend and the description was accurate! Thanks for having us."

Quiet location for a relaxing break. Home away from home!

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (51)
"The house was okay. There wasn't enough towels for all of us, and the towels we were given, were old. There were 2 dusty smelling mattresses in the master closet, so we couldn't use it. The sun porch was scorching hot, and we couldn't open the windows because the beetles would get in. Every night we found beetles in the bed. We would have rented a new place, but couldn't afford to. We were also asked to mop the floor and take our garbage to the dump. Wouldn't stay again. "
