The view was exceptional and the only selling point.
The house was exceptionally cold - though did have heaters, 1 of which did not work. There were cockroaches we cooked in the oven inadvertently, there are no condiments - coffee / tea at all.
The grounds were unkept. Communication was poor - I contacted twice with no response for confirmation, was not able to get code for door until we presented at the door in front of the lock box ( after 2 ) we were arriving after 7pm did not want to have to ring in the dark and work out lockbox - but had to do so ..

Didnt even end up staying! Turned up and was a house with different locked off bedrooms but shared facilities.

Close to Hamilton.
Noisy, cold, no extra blankets, got sold as a lodge but is more like a hostel. Has hardly any necessities - no shampoo or conditioner, no bath mat, no hand towel, one wifi not working, broken window meaning it was open all night and very cold, no towels on arrival and needed to request these to be dropped off, room was sold as a 'suite' but was just a room with a bed and drawers.

beautiful place
it smelled musty. other guest were in our area because they were not clearly notified by property of the space limits. I booked to have a private bathroom and found one of the other guest using it and they used all my body wash and took our toilet paper and the property manager did nothing about it.

Didnt like anything. We were led to think that this would be a nice safe place to take our daughter only to find that we had to share all facilities with who ever else was in the house that is spose to be apparently a "lodge". My partner and i didnt feel comfortable having our daughter in that house. The toilet was disgusting, still had feaces and urine sitting in there. Kitchen had empty alcohol bottles on bench. Was not very inviting at all. Wouldnt recommend this for a family as you dont even know who is under the same roof as you. We are currently trying to fight for a refund. Do yourself a favour and keep scrolling past this option.

Location
Overpriced, this dump is a place of last resort. A Russian labour camp would be better. Dont go near it, you will get more amenities sleeping under a bridge. No TV, no tea ot coffee, no towels. One shared bathroom and toilet for all the rooms. Places like this should not be on this site.

Nothing at all
270 dollars I booked this for my husband myself and aderly dad we came from australia to visit him ..walked in was very very disappointed and extremely angry
my husband and I had stayed at 8 accomdation placers since being here in nz and this was so unacceptable to sleep in we walked out ..one bed had no pillow and was not made properly our bed had two pillows shoved in middle of bed no pillow silps no blanket on end .there were two towels for 3 of us no bath mat of face clothes .no extra blankets as shown in picture and it was a shared kitchen longe room and bathroom thst other peolpe staying there shared this was not advertised as a share house with a room .we paid for a superior family room very upset will be determined to get a refund ..lady hang up on me and told me to contact booking .com the number was in London was not going to more expensive to now ring London. I have now read other comments and no I was not be unreasonable
I'm very disappointed that this is still being advertised it's needs to be reworded as shared house very basic bring everything cold dungy house with no decoration or warmth but pay good price .I wish I took more photos please don't book this accomdation.

7.0
clean bedsheets and other than that only the walk at the river
OVERPRIZED for having CERO amenities and being a SHAREHOUSE. TOTAL SCAM! they make it sound like its your own space, you get there and theres random people inside the same house.
SCAM.
ah I almost forgot, they give you the wrong lockbox code so you call them for an hour before they decide to pick the phone up and give you the right one. (happened to all the people i met at the house)
For the money they charge we should at least have access to internet! zero convenient for foreign people like me….ZERO

No wifi, no tea towels. Bare basics. People expect more now than an empty too

We didn't like anything other than the location, but that didn't matter when the accommodation was so poor.
This place was falsely advertised. There was one very small bathroom for three rooms and only two towels. There was a broken window in the lounge. There was noone on site. It felt totally unsafe. The kitchen was not adequately resourced. There was an open fuse box in the kitchen.

Did not have private kitchen as advertised, found several cockroaches in my room with one even under my pillow in the middle of the night. Truly the worst place i have ever stayed at

There is not one thing that I liked, other that the people i contacted to complain responded with a refund for the 2 other nights i had booked to stay
When i got to the accom, i had a look a round it was basically a house that any spare room had been converted into a room. The room i had booked was a single room which looked like it was the old laundry at a door at each end the door that opened did not have the light switch on so in the dark i had to try and find the switch. The bed was lumpy and uncomfortable, the wardrobe was not secured to the wall and when you opened the door it tipped over. Once i had a look around i found the kitchen was not equipped for the rooms or people it could accommodate. So i though i might as well go to bed then from about 9pm all the way through the night another couple who were in another room started arguing and fighting, he was wondering around the house trying doors - i confronted him saying i wanted to get to sleep he just said go to bed then. The room backed onto the kitchen he was banging doors and draws. This is the worst accommodation i have ever stayed at...... do not book even if it is cheap.....
