#### Highly over priced but great location
This house in the perfect location and a lovely design. However it's very tired and needs some serious love.If I had paid perhaps up to 400 per night this would have been somewhat acceptable but to pay over 700 night was exorbitant!It was booked a few weeks beforehand which left me with very minimal choice, however the photos left me with the impression that it was a well maintained property.

#### Good
The location was beautiful, ocean views and right on the beach, which was great. Clean linen and towels, groovy bathroom. More suited to families with children with access to safe beach and swimming. We were a group of 5 adults Overall cleanliness of the house was average and smelt a bit 'musty.' Suggest to upgrade rumpus room to more adequate bed arrangement as it's advertised to sleep 6

Superb location in a beautiful part of NZ. Who wouldn't love the enthusiastic and innovative light switch layout - and the paucity of window dressings that will bring out your inner exhibitionist?

#### Seaside Stay
We loved the hand built nature of the bach and the upstairs bedroom meant views of stars at night and the gannets diving in the morning. Quick drive to Farewell Spit where we had a long walk. Beautiful location and friendly people in neighborhood.

#### Perfect
This lovely home was just perfect. Cosy and inviting right by the beach and grateful we could enjoy this with our dog. The views from the master just so relaxing and blissful to listen to the waves at night, and watch the sun rise. Birdlife galore, sweet garden and everything you could need, or a cafe just a five min bike ride away. Not flashy, but luxury in all the good ways! Thank you!

#### Amazing beachfront hideaway
This is an incredibly special place where you can truly relax and unwind. Surrounded by native bush and birds with a sublime view out over the beach and sea. Beautiful sunrises. For once a comfortable hard bed in a rental Yey! Walk to Collingwood or drive to nearby beaches and adventure spots. Property managers really prompt and professional to deal with. We are definitely returning. Thank you for sharing your little price of paradise.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
I will be contacting you when I return to the UK. There were a number of concerns which I am sure you will wish to know about. 1. I have been billed and charged incorrectly with an additional unexplained sum of $222. for what is described as Host fees. 2. Accessing property stressful because of complications with providers. 3. Property filthy. 4. Wi-Fi sporadic at best. There are issues which are serious. I have had excellent service from Expedia in the past.
