Location was very handy to both Stoke and Nelson. Property was spacious, very clean and comfortable and had amazing views off the deck. Would heartily recommend to anyone wishing an enjoyable, relaxing stay in this area ##### David W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### steffen z. Feb 7, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfectly Equipped House Very easy check in process. The house is just perfectly equipped with everything you could possibly need on holiday. Almost as good as at home. Hardly any utensil you can imagine is missing in the kitchen. One could bake and cook and create almost as well as at home. Good quality Bosch White-ware so your washing turns out good too. There are games for the kids, Wifi for the older kids and adults, TV & DVD player. Fridge with Ice-Maker and a nice outdoor area to eat and relax. The house is bright and sunny and not far from the hospital which is convenient depending on your purpose of stay. Really positive was that the property manager allowed essentials such as Oil, Vinegar, Marmite, Salt, Pepper, Dishwashing liquid to be left behind from previous visiting parties. It perfectly rounds up the positive experience in that house. There are only 2 negative things we recall: 1\. The curtains in the master bedroom are just to prevent people from looking inside . They do not darken the room one little bit. Makes sleeping in the morning very hard. Bed could be a little bigger but that is a minor personal preference. 2\. Complicated booking process. Once the house is booked and paid the property manager will contact you froma different email address and request a deposit payment. That is confusing and can easily be overlooked in the spam folder. Non payment makes the booking void and can then lead to disappointment. This should be a one step process at the initial booking. Overall this is a very nice house with views over the ocean and airport. Extremely well equipped and well looked after. House is clean and linen with towels provided!. We would book it again. ##### steffen z. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### fletcher d.
