How quick they confirmed my stay after the village motel disappointed us

How there was no half brush to clean up kids crumbs

very close to Kennedy Rd and Expressway makes getting to Napier amd Hastings easy, close to Greenmeadows/Taradale. big enough for 7 people, 2 large beds in separate rooms and single over double bunk in another, and roomy couch and seating for 6 at dinner table. covered outdoor table area. well priced compared to similar alternatives.

there was a big of noise from expressway which isn't an issue except for one night where they were doing repairs. we did have a visit from local ants to our grapes but that's normal for summer in hawkes bay and we're wiped out with a quick spray n wipe. would be difficult to cook for a house full but plenty there for breakfasts and lunches. some more towels (hand towels and a couple more for showers if staying multiple nights. could not locate a recycling bin and some larger cups would not hurt, garage is nor available to guests. But nothing that would stop us staying again.

The house was lovely, very clean and tidy, good location for shops etc and short drive into napier marine drive

The mattresses too hard on adult beds, tv has very bad reception

Nice and spacious. Lounge was very cosy. Facilities were great for.

There were a couple of things missing or could be beneficial for families staying i.e, a tea towel, dishwash liquid, can opener, a couple of large bowls or dishes for meal times.

Very central to were we needed to get too, close to shops and enough space to relax. Air Conditioning and bedroom fans were a brilliant addition. Cleaning girls were lovely and very helpful. Good size fridge.

Kitchen was a little light on pots/pans, one had a burn on the inside that I was able to remove to use and no mixing bowls. One tea towel wasn't enough for our two night stay as had to wash dishes while trying to cook due to above. TV was a little tricky to operate either had to watch a movie or you tube no normal TV i,e, free-view, 1 2 or 3 channels.

Good place for the price, everything was clean and accessible to mostly everywhere. We loved the Anderson park down the road. Host was very communicative and quick to reply to any concerns we had. Over all would stay again.

The beds were hard. Although I did have good sleeps just not use to such hard beds. The home lacked basic utensils like a masher and a grater, would've been awesome a few more pots and knives. I'm such a clean freak so having access to a vacuum would've been good. We had toddlers, so not being able to vacuum for a week wasn't very hygienic for them.
