This photo was taken in the peak of summer holidays (3 Jan 2015). On the coast road between Waipukurau and Masterton.

Feb 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Not what I expected. I arrived needing the toilet. I opened the door to find 3 beds in adjoining rooms but no toilet or bathroom. I ran around in desperation, even to a property next door. Eventually found a tiny, partially hidden pathway which I followed and found a toilet and bathroom at the end of the path. No signage or written explanations in the bedroom telling me where the toilet is. No response to my desperate written message. ##### Linda I.
