Feb 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Enjoyable stay with great friends Six friends together enjoying walking at Mt Aoraki and exploring the whole area. Restaurants were a slight problem as several were closed for different reasons and the area was very busy. However our time together was the most important and we coped well. ##### Vicki J. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Anthony N. Dec 27, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness The bbq was rusty, very dirty and unusable. The house requires a thorough clean, especially the shower. Cobwebs in the bedrooms, lolly papers under beds, grime along the floor edges. Some lights didn't work due to blown globes. The hot water system was completely inadequate for multiple showering, the water pressure was extremely poor. A person with long hair would not be able to wash their hair with the poor water pressure. ##### Anthony N. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Anne D. May 7, 2025 Liked: Communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Karen’s place Close to everything, able to walk for shopping and dinner. House is cluttered, needs a deep clean. Tv didn’t work couldn’t get oven to work weekend manager came with an internet dongle for TV and eventually sorted oven she was a lovely lady. Beds and floor squeaked washing machine made horrible noises. Water pressure was near non existent ##### Anne D. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Lakeview Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Lakeview-Cottage.h37916190.Hotel-Information) > - [Kaikoura Waterfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaikoura-Hotels-Kaikoura-Waterfront-Apartments.h46121792.Hotel-Information) > - [Akaroa on the Beach Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Akaroa-Hotels-Akaroa-On-The-Beach-Apartments.h9626017.Hotel-Information) > - [Stopforths Premium Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Hokitika-Hotels-Stopforths-Premium-Accommodation.h23236034.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Queenstown-Hotels-Hilton-Queenstown-Resort-Spa.h4268206.Hotel-Information) > - [Motueka TOP 10 Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Motueka-Hotels-Motueka-TOP-10-Holiday-Park.h7015031.Hotel-Information) > - [Sennen House](https://www.expedia.ca/Picton-Hotels-Sennen-House.h7120592.Hotel-Information) > - [Discovery Countrytime Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Omarama-Hotels-Discovery-Countrytime-Hotel.h1145773.Hotel-Information) > - [Dusky Lodge - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaikoura-Hotels-Dusky-Lodge.h13271116.Hotel-Information) > - [Turangi Leisure Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Turangi-Hotels-Turangi-Leisure-Lodge.h61338998.Hotel-Information) > - [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > - [The Blue Pub](https://www.expedia.ca/Methven-Hotels-The-Blue-Pub.h9628177.Hotel-Information) > - [Arcadia Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Russell-Hotels-Arcadia-Lodge.h9626026.Hotel-Information) > - [Aqua Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Aqua-Lodge.h51669090.Hotel-Information) > - [The Reservation B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Gore-Hotels-The-Reservation.h9679423.Hotel-Information) > - [Horse and Jockey Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Horse-And-Jockey-Inn.h29357900.Hotel-Information) > - [Duvauchelle Seaside Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Duvauchelle-Hotels-Duvauchelle-Seaside-Motel.h20930343.Hotel-Information) > - [Sundowner Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Greymouth-Hotels-Sundowner-Motel.h19166307.Hotel-Information) > - [Ribbonwood Country House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheviot-Hotels-Ribbonwood-Country-House.h15876059.Hotel-Information) > - [Prodigal Daughter Gourmet Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Martinborough-Hotels-Prodigal-Daughter-Gourmet-Lodge.h39405385.Hotel-Information) > - [Lakeview Colonial Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Queenstown-Hotels-Colonial-Village-Motel.h11453583.Hotel-Information) > - [Waitomo Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Te-Kuiti-Hotels-Waitomo-Lodge.h72941486.Hotel-Information) > - [Kumiko's Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Waipara-Hotels-Kumikos-Guest-House.h98505532.Hotel-Information) > - [The Matarangi B & B](https://www.expedia.ca/Matarangi-Hotels-The-Matarangi-B-B.h97053938.Hotel-Information) > - [JetPark Hotel Hamilton Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Jet-Park-Hotel-Hamilton-Airport.h4281130.Hotel-Information) > - [Ruapehu Country Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ohakune-Hotels-Ruapehu-Country-Lodge.h9625899.Hotel-Information) > - [Monty's self-contained unit](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Montys-Self-Contained-Unit.h37984382.Hotel-Information) > - [Riverside Homestead Waitangi](https://www.expedia.ca/Haruru-Hotels-Riverside-Homestead-Waitangi.h78742745.Hotel-Information) > - [Kaikoura Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaikoura-Hotels-Waves-Luxury-Apartments.h45744296.Hotel-Information)
