We were travelling around New Zealand from overseas and this was our second stop off. Communication with the owner was non existent and made for a very stressful element of our holiday. Messages to the owner went unanswered and 2 days before our booking I had to contact Vrbo directly as we had no check in details and my messages went unanswered. I was begining to think the booking was a scam, especially as the contact number was not in service. The house itself is in a good location but is looking quite tired. This would have been ok if it was clean and everything worked. The blinds are coated in dust, there was a spider with an established web in the ensuite shower and some of the bed linens, although laundered, had stains on them. As has previously been pointed out, the showers don't drain and the drawer runner for one of the main drawers (as mentioned in a review from March) doesn't work so it takes effort to shut the drawer. There is an abundance of glasses, plates and crockery so really no excuse for having chipped plates and glasses. I'm not sure if the owner has outsourced the cleaning and hasn't visited the property in awhile, but they really need to visit and rectify some of the issues and revise the listing. No bluetooth stereo or DVD player and the back of the TV remote control is broken so falls off when you lift it up. The house needs a deep clean and I would suggest fixing the tumble dryer in place so it doesn't jump and block the washing machine.
