Mark was very accommodating and friendly. Room had everything and more. Beautiful views and pool to soak up the sunshine. Short walk to Stephens bay. Lovely garden and outdoor table/furniture. Great for birdwatching and had a local weka we saw a couple times. Overall 10/10 experience and we can't wait to come back!

Nice holiday location, very quiet and nice garden. Only the plastic curtains smell awful.
The rest is very good.

Merv's place is great!
Merv's place was fantastic, including the pool for a nice plunge on a hot day. His back yard is lovely and we loved morning coffee sitting quietly and listening to the birds.

Good batch without full realistic description
It is very wrong not to advice the property location and communication opportunity before paiment.
All other things results. Probably it is Bookabatch problem.
Serene, neat, spacious, friendly owners and a very inviting pool to cool off in

Nice, clean, comfortable cottage. Well appointed kitchen and lovely hot shower. Would have been a super holiday if weather had been good. Unfortunately weather beyond anyones' control. Drive is very steep and glad husband had reverse car down to parking spot.
