"This great farmstay was so comfortable for our group of 7 and the views were stunning. Emma's hosting was lovely, complete with touches of welcome like fresh flowers, delicious preserves, bread, etc. And so easy to get around and explore in easy outings in the surrounding area. A great spot!"

Waikawa House
"This may be the cleanest home I've ever been in (including my own...ha!) Beds were comfortable, location was quiet, gardens surrounding the home were lovely. We stayed in the off season so the town was closed up tight, but we had anticipated the need to bring some food with us. I'd book this home ..."

Curio Bay Salt House Motel
"Good location. Staff was responsive in answering questions and providing instructions to enter the property. It can be cleaner though - we found some dirty socks below a chair for instance. There was a binder on the kitchen counter which stated that the guests must do the dishes or will be charged additional fees. Although I appreciate that it was clearly communicated, I do not necessarily agree and like the policy. First it should have been communicated on the booking site so that guests are aware prior to booking. Also I think that dishwashing should be part of the normal room service. I also wonder how seriously all guests take this responsibility and really clean. . . !?!"
