House was great nice warm very comfortable
That it’s in a communal living with old caravans and house buses right in front of your kitchen windows and people from this just walking round the property it’s not private at all and a communal toilet right out side of kitchen window as well

Size and value for money
We saw via the reviews ahead of time and didn’t mind it at all but the photos don’t perhaps capture the fact it’s part of a tiny village - easily seen on google maps though.

Location was perfect for where we needed to be

Supplies avaiable were very good. Lovely sunny living area. Was very suitable for our trip to Auckland, well situated as we attended a Wedding at the Markova Esdtate.
There is a lot of maintenance that has not been done inside and outside the house. one of the single room beds was not very comfortable, which let the property down. Suggest a new bed is purchased.

It was very clean, well equiped with all that we needed. The location was perfect for the event we attended. Plenty of parking.
There are several other dwellings and mobile
Homes located on the property close to the house. Although the neighbours were very quiet, it looks very busy when you drive into the property. It would have been nice to understand that this was a share property, especially as the communal toilet is visible from the kitchen window. Despite this we found the house very suitable for what we needed. And once we shut the curtains you isolated yourself from all
Of the other properties.

The house was very comfortable, and very close to where our extended family lived, so the location was perfect. It was peaceful, and the location was easy to find. The house was lovely and clean, and the beds were comfortable. The owner was easy to contact, and very helpful. There were a lot of positive things about this place that we enjoyed, and overall the stay was great. But there were a few things that made it less than ideal.
Internet was very slow, and kept dropping out. Fair enough, we could live with that for a few days. The house itself was lovely, BUT the ad doesn't disclose that there are also 10 -15 house buses, tiny houses, and other dwellings on site, so there are other people quite close. There is also a communal toilet about 5 metres from the house that some of the other residents use, so there is a steady stream of people going in and out of that. Everyone kept to themselves, and there were no issues, but the pictures show a house surrounded by large empty fields, and that is not the case. The photos must be several years old because one of the fields is now an orchard with trees at least 1.5 metres tall, and the other field has a huge vegetable garden that is tended by some of the other residents. The main problem we had though was the water. Within an hour of arrival the water pump broke down, so we had no running water. I called the owner and she arranged for someone on site to sort it out, so the water was running again two hours later. But the next morning the pump stopped again, so we had no water again, and couldn't flush toilets etc. That was fixed again, but we were then told that Vector was doing planned repairs in the area and the power would be off from 8.30pm to 6.00am. This obviously was not the fault of the owner, and beyond her control, but it resulted in us having no power, so no lights,no TV, no internet, and once again no water, so unable to flush the toilets for 10 hours. It was pitch black with no lighting, so we ended up going to bed early, instead of having a planned games night. The owner did say that they would probably end up replacing the pump, so that may now not be the issue it was three weeks ago.

Lots of space for little ones to run around. Comfortable, clean and tidy. Modern and it was nice to have hot drinks and breakfast supplied.
Location for us was very close to the wedding we attended so very convenient.
The internet was a bit patchy. Oven function was difficult to figure out. Some of the frying pans did not work on the induction cook top. The gate to the deck needs to be fixed.

THE LOCATION WAS THE MAIN ATTRACTION ABOUT THIS PROPERTY,
THE FACILITIES WERE GOOD (TV, SHOWERS, KITCHEN ETC)
The property quirk/faults were not noted until the confirmatory email (normal for booking.com but there were a few to note)
The property is not standalone, it is in a commune/off-grid/mini-home collective??
Some of the neighbours weren't rude, but not friendly either
The kitchen roof leaks
The landlord or someone entered the property through the coded door while we were away on task and left this door insecure - nothing went missing, but this was not appreciated - even if there was a good reason I should have been notified
The nearest adjacent building has day/night security cameras pointing directly into the kitchen/living room
