Our experience during our stay was a bit of a mixed bag. The house itself was delightful, offering a cozy and homely atmosphere. It was well-maintained, neat, and the back deck area provided a pleasant spot to relax. However, our main issue revolved around the communication with the property manager, which was rather disappointing. Regrettably, we encountered difficulties reaching the property manager. While I could receive messages from the property manager through the Bookabach messaging function, I was unable to respond. Additionally, the listed phone number for the property manager appeared to be incorrect or disconnected, as my repeated attempts to make contact were unsuccessful. Not being able to communicate with the property manager led to an inconvenience, as it rendered me unable to modify our guest count (reduce it) before our stay. This resulted in the cost of our stay being $200 higher than it should have been, which was frustrating.

We have absolutely appreciated the accommodation and service that we have received in relation to this property and do not hesitate to give it 5 stars.

This location and place was perfect for our staff to relax and unwind while working away from our homes to aid the relief and repair the damages of Cyclone Gabrielle. I didn’t stay at the property but my staff had said it was perfect, clean, quiet and spacious. I will definitely come straight back to this place should (it is expected) our business need to return to the area. Ngā mihi, Thank You for having us.

Property was warm, clean and comfortable. There is only 1 point that would have made our stay better, stronger Wifi. We were on a working weekend and the Wifi was lagging.

Awesome house with good facilities. We had an awesome weekend. 😊

The Verandah at Gisborne is super comfy, private, versatile, and set up well for group stays. We greatly enjoyed our visit!

What a treat to stay in such a beautiful spacious villa.

Great property for a group, lots of room, clean and easy check in process

Beautiful property, very spacious and accommodating! Great shower and comfy beds!

Very easy, great spot & very tidy with lots of space.

Welcoming warm accomodation, even in winter. Once again a lovely stay with everything we could need while away from home. Enjoyed by all age groups. Friendly host. Highly recommended.

Great to Communicate with Kathy very helpful to deal with clean and tidy house wonderful stay thank you very much

Spacious house, 5th bedroom isn't a bedroom as such but worked fine. Tidy, clean and great location.

A great place to stay. Lovely house with plenty of space and everything you need. Tidy and easy to access. Very nice location.

We were in Gisborne for a three-day conference. We couldn't have had a better space to use as our base. The house is well sited in a quiet area and the amenities exceed your expectations. As four professional women presenting and running workshops, we had space to spread out work. I would recommend this property to anyone that wants a home away from home and especially if you are planning a family gathering or just a get away with friemds.

The team were comfortable and happy at the property. A great location for our touring group.

Lovely, large home with room for all of us to spread out and do our own thing when needed. Well equipped kitchen, so the chef our our crew could work her magic. Extra thanks to our host Kathy for persevering with our wifi woes and requests - much appreciated.

Lovely roomy home that was very clean and well set up. Ideal for us and we would love to stay here again.

Had a great time in this stunning property.

The property was all that it promised. It was spacious and above all very comfortable and clean. We had a super few days reminiscing with many old friends who came to visit and they too enjoyed the property throughout the days. A great place to call home for a few days.

9 adults stayed in total. Facilities were excellent. Kitchen was well stocked with plates, serving dishes etc. Lovely covered balcony area at the back of the house with great seating area. BBQ PROVIDED with large grassed back section area. Great to have double carport facility with option of cars parking behind carport, which kept cars of the street. Large, roomy lounge area inside with extra room for relaxing next to the kitchen area.

excellent accom,meet all our requirements,great facilities with all the amenenties that you need,brillant!

We had a fabulous time in this property. There were eight of us (adults) staying for a family holiday/catch up and this property served all our needs. The location is excellent and the communication with Kathy (host) was top notch. Our flights had been changed and it was not a problem for us to check in earlier than expected. We loved Gisborne and hope to be back again one day.

It was great to organise this getaway to celebrate our duaghters 40th birthday in Gisborne. The property provided everything we needed, and we were pleasantly surprised at how well stocked the kitchen was with crockery etc. We felt very at home and comfortable. The place has lots of room and the outdoor setting was great as well. I enjoyed taking my three year old granddaughter down to the park, and buying a bag of organges from the neighbours. We'll be back!

From the first step inside it felt nice and cosy. The fire was going making it welcoming. Lots of space for 4 adults to chill out in. We couldn’t find an instruction book but everything was easy to use or figure out. Would recommend to friends if visiting the area

Repeat guests, always a great place to stay

This house was very clean with everything you could wish for. Plenty of space, quiet location, lovely grounds and one of the nicest places we have stayed in. Wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend.

Very warm whare, very inviting whare, situated close to township, great parking, great gardens and well kept grounds. Accommodated my whanau perfectly. We were all over 65 so the amenities suited us perfectly .Will recommend and share wonderful accommodation

We had an excellent experience renting this property.

We'd definitely stay here again. A wonderful old house in a beautiful, quiet, neighbour.

A great property and perfect for our big whānau. Plenty of space and great break out spaces for everyone. The rooms were really good sized rooms for each of the partners and mokopuna we loved it. Great indoor outdoor flow too. The property manager was really great and remained engaged throughout. Great property for whānau wanting to return home to the Tairawhiti for the weekend.

Brilliant property for a large group, lovely neighborhood
