Mar 31, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Disappointing So disappointing that I don’t where to start. On arrival key was not where I was told it would be, luckily I was able to contact Stayz. On entering the place absolutely stank and the place was extremely grubby, poo on the underside of toilet seat plus empty toilet rolls on floor, spillage in microwave, had to make own bed, windows filthy making it hard to see the great view (only decent thing) No instructions on how to work TV. couldn’t leave as I had paid up front. No beach access,had to drive to beach in Okiwi Bay! …………….. not a happy camper. For the price I paid it was daylight robbery. It’s just a batch expect nothing more. ##### lyndsay f.
