"Pros: Very private hideaway in a great location for visiting the Catlins. Beautifully furnished and well set up for ones every need. Highly recommended." ~Elspeth

"Pros: Pretty little house in a great location, meters from the beach, very quiet, good layout. Large modern bathroom and kitchen, and a separate laundry room with a full-size washer and a separate dryer. Unfortunately, the whole place could use a thorough cleaning. : Cons: As mentioned, the house wasn’t really clean, we had to scrub the inside plastic cylinder of the washer (top loader) which was filthy with scum, in order to use it. There was laundry in the dryer that we had to take out in order to use it, and I don’t think I needed to see that they wash the sheets and towels together with what looked like rags for mopping the floors, or small rugs. The kitchen cabinets were full of crumbs, the windows dirty, found a dead bug on one of the beds and the velvety headboard of the queen bed had a year’s worth of dust on top, which yes, we cleaned, otherwise we couldn’t have slept there. Lots of junk in the closets, really old stuff that I’m not sure anyone would use. Outside furniture was also very dirty. A pity, since the place has good bones and with a few hours of scrubbing and decluttering it could be great" ~Amra
