Very friendly, helpful owner. I appreciate the help Bryan gave me with my hairdryer. Large room with over-sized love seat and chair for extra seating. Nice to have a desk in the room. Was very surprised to learn that our room shared the kitchenette space and bathroom facilities with another room. It was good that the shower was in a separate room from the toilet, but that was not clear in the description on ******* (I have registered my complaint with them) as you had to check the description of each room to see that only one had a "private bathroom". It was problematic to have 4 people share access to the toilet one morning.
This was the only one of the 11 properties we used in NZ that did not have an electric water kettle for our own use in our room and so had to dress before morning coffee/tea. We were asked to wash our own dishes and had to pre-wash some things before use as they were dirty in the drawer. Breakfast food was a nice assortment but could use more protein (e.g., peanut butter for toast or yogurt). Lovely gardens and had parking.
