Vu les prix dans la région sa petite cabane dépanne bien, mention spéciale aux chiens très gentils

オーナーさんが優しくて親切だった！

La propriétaire qui m'a agressée verbalement. Je visite la .Nouvelle Zelande avec 2 amis. Nous avons loué une trentaine de logements différents avec booking et cela s'est toujours bien passé. Cette fois ci j'ai demandé à louer une chambre pour moi dans la maison car le confort du cabanon de jardinétait vraiment précaire. La propriétaire peu aimable m'a carrement agressée verbalement parce que j'avaisfrappé à sa porte pour lui demander mon linge que j'avais donnéà laver. Je précise que j'ai 73 ans que je suis une femme et que je suis handicapèe physiquement. Il était un peu plus de 20h. Nous avons trouvé les Néozélandais. charmants et respectueux des autres. Dans cecas je ne comprends pas l'attitude de cette femme qui à mon avis ne devrait pas accueillir des gens dans sa maiso

Great communication and helpful, was already to book another night, but personal circumstances changed. Would happily recommend. Would definitely stay again.

I recommend 100 % this accommodation. It was exceptional, clean, and beautiful. A very warm welcome and the dogs are adorable. thanks

Die Besitzerin ist sehr nett und die Gegend ist schön. Auch der Garten ist liebevoll gestaltet, aber Gartenmöbel waren leider dreckig und daher nicht wirklich einladend.

Man schläft in einem Stockbett in einer sehr kleinen Gartenlaube. Das war uns ehrlich gesagt nicht so bewusst. Man muss durch den gesamten garten, um auf die Toilette zu gehen und leider lag überall Hundekot. Zudem hatten wir kaum Platz und keine Ablagemöglichkeit für unsere Rucksäcke. Für eine Nacht ging es.

Great little town with heaps of great food places nearby, the host was lovely and super accommodating

Mattress was a little bit firm but was still comfortable

The location was perfect--literally across the street from shops and cafes. The property has a lovely yard with a covered patio, outdoor kitchen, extensive garden which you are welcome to graze from, and friendly host dogs. The home was beautifully decorated and the setting is extremely peaceful. The owner is very accomodating to her guests and is very helpful to travelers. We enjoyed chatting with some of the other guests staying on-site.

Because we were traveling I didn't receive the check-in instructions before we arrived, so it wasn't clear where to park and how to check in (park in the driveway, just go straight through the back gate, and your name will be on your room), so my first interaction with the host was a bit puzzling. The accomodations themselves, while very clean, comfortable and innovative, they are very small (which was evident in the pictures--no surprises there). There are two mini-cabins in the yard and one room in the house available for guests, however there's only one bathroom for all the guests plus the owner of the home to share, located in the main house. You have to go into the owner's home to use the bathroom. This wasn't a big deal for us, but could be for others.

Super confortable et très bien situé Beaucoup de charme et D’originalité Food truck boulangerie magasins à deux pas

Beautiful home and garden with two furry friends. Great value for money. Nice and relaxing with lots of food and shop options on the street. Gf got nails done by the host in her nail studio out the front and said she did a great job one of the best she’s ever had.

Interesting shower with a view Nice garden

All good

Great host, great location and a very cool setup

N/A

Breakfast was not included in the price of the room, however fresh eggs were made available to guests from the chicken coup in the side yard. I stayed in my room during most of my visit to recover from being ill. With its lovely backyard garden, outdoor deck and pleasant room inside the main house it was the perfect place to recuperate. The house was also conveniently located within walking distance of grocery stores and restaurants.

Since I was alone it would have been more pleasant to have more time to chat with the host. I could see, though,that she was busy juggling many balls; ie running her own nail salon, making podcasts, taking care of her garden and her two dogs, in addition to running her home stay business.

Super nette und hilfsbereite Inhaberin, wunderschöne Wohnung mit gut ausgestatteter Küche und Bad, 2 tolle Hunde und Hühner im Garten :)

The facilities and location were great for us, everything you need is within walking distance. Parking spaces in front of the door. The owner and her two dogs are also very friendly, and we were able to borrow a shovel for Hot Water Beach.

Lage, Sauberkeit, die schöne Einrichtung des Haupthauses

La anfitriona es muy simpática y la ubicación buena.

El alojamiento está en el jardín de una casa particular, con perros. Los colchones de las literas eran muy incómodos y te clavas los hierros lo que hacía difícil dormir bien. Algunos lugares del alojamiento no estaban del todo limpios.

Très sympa ! La terrasse est génial, très accueillant

Our room was very good, liked having use of the covered area outside. Enjoyed chatting to the other guests

Some of the cutlery and plates needed cleaning before use.

This property was so lovely ! Loved everything about it. The host was lovely too. We had eggs from the chickens !! Apples from the tree. It was lovely ! Slept well!

There’s such a peaceful vibe in the hideaway with a blooming Garden, hidden bookshelf bathroom, and sweet dogs. The little huts are clean and functional and give you more privacy than a hostel or hotel but with the benefit of shared social spaces with the other guests and local tips from Penny. It had everything I needed and more, and Penny helped me out of a pretty tight spot out of goodwill as well. I’ll have great memories from Tairua.

Literally nothing

I stayed in the room that's in the house and it was so lovely. The bed was very comfortable. The gardens were beautiful and one day Penny gave me a couple of ripe passion fruit from the vine to have with my breakfast. The food trucks across the street are great. The local beach is nice and you're not far from cathedral cove and hot water beach. Paku summit is great for views and sunrise. The dogs are so cute and cuddly.

The town doesn't have a real grocery store, so it's good to pick up anything you might need on your way there. The food trucks are closed two or three days a week.

Great bathroom and toilet. Good mattresses and awesome bbq and veranda.

Penny was very welcoming and showed us the facilities - she had also written different recommendations in the room for the area. The outdoor kitchen was very nice, and if the weather had been better on the day we stayed, it would have been great to take advantage of the lovely garden.

The top bunkbed was a bit difficult to get up to, and there wasn't a lot of space to the ceiling. The bathroom was nice, but is in the mainhouse, which didn't bother us, but might others

Perfect

Friendly host, beautiful backyard, dogs, right downtown

Super niedliches Hostel,man merkt das hier alles mit Liebe gemacht wird. Es ist super sauber und man fühlt sich einfach wohl. Die Gastgeberin ist auch super lieb. Man hat in der Outdoor Küche eigentlich alles was man so benötigt.

Ein zweiter Topf wäre super gewesen,aber da lässt sich im Zweifel auch eine Lösung finden.

Le décor...

La pluie ...

The shower was awesome and the patio was great.

I would put a space heater in the cottage. We were really cold at night. I’d also leave some tea towels in the kitchen for dishes/ washing hands.

Close to town/shops, beautiful spacious bathroom and cooking/eating area

Needed a welcome mat to clean feet before entering cabin, and a mirror in the room

Loved the location, the set up, THE DOGS!!! Just a really nice house and nice backyard.

That I didn’t get 2 night but only 1

Loved the beautiful quirky home. Including the secrete hide away toilet and bathroom. Funky pictures and fine details. Felt very comfortable. Easy instructions on how you access the room after hours.

Bed and pillows were a bit hard for me.

Close to the town great for the kids with the dogs

Not didn't like but kitchen needed a sharp knife maybe a few utensils for those cooking there

Loved the shower, great description of the place and instructions. Very central, with cafes and shops right next door. Cute dogs.

We stayed at a time when it was super hot, and there were limited cooling options, so that made a bit uncomfortable.

We stayed for 3 nights and really enjoyed it. You could not beat the location. Penny is always available and helpful, yet she gives you privacy. She offered our children to feed the chicken and shared her knowledge and stories about them which was very nice. We enjoyed having access to the shared outdoor lounge and kitchen, even with the rain as it is covered. The house has very nice touches, we absolutely loved the bathroom and shower! It's a special place.

It would have been great to have a toaster, we had to use the pan to toast our bread. Also it felt clean enough but a bit more care and deep cleaning overall would be enjoyable (i.e. brooming the patio, emptying the rubish more often or keeping the outdoor furniture a bit more clean). Also we read the description and knew there were dogs, and they made our kids super happy but you need to be aware that they spend most of their time outside so they are almost always around you, whether you chill on the couch or have your meal.

What a great location! Ideal for walking everywhere to eat, shop, explore!

Die Dusche war cool.

Es war alles sehr schmutzig und hatte Hundekot auf den Weg. Küchenbereich unbrauchbar und schmutzig. Der Empfang war sehr unfreundlich.

So cute! I loved my stay here, instructions were clear and being able to meet the dogs really made my stay amazing :)

Très belle maison avec un intérieur très bien décoré, et des chiens adorables. Facile à trouver très bien indiqué par l'hôte, avec des places de parking en face de la maison.

J'ai dormi dans la cabane dans le jardin, qui a des lits confortables, mais n'est pas du tout isolé. Le soir il fait très chaud à cause du soleil toute la journée, la nuit et le matin il fait très froid, à part l'été je pense que c'est invivable. Un petit radiateur serait bien, mais isolé la cabane serait bien mieux, ça permettrait aussi de moins entendre les poules le matin.

So first of the all the host, Penny, is incredibly welcoming of new guests. Her two dogs were so well behaved and curious when we first arrived, and were such a welcome sight since I am missing my pets a lot at home. Her garden is also spectacular, with so many interesting features and flowers. We tried the Santa Maria pizza place right opposite which was also 10/10.

Nothing, we’d 100% stay there again if we revisited the area.

The location was great and the garden was a nice area to be in. The beds were comfortable and the room was a nice temperature. The shower and bathroom were so cute!

The kitchen was a little limited due to being outside. It was a bit annoying to have to walk inside to use the bathroom during the night as well.

I enjoyed my stay in the twin cabin. The bed was comfortable and everything I needed was just a few steps away. The barbecue area had more than I expected, including a small stovetop. The bathroom was clean. You are right in the town centre, but as you're in the backyard behind the house, there is no noise at night. Perfect place for a night or a few.

As a home stay, you benefit from a cheaper price and staying with locals. There was space in the room and the outdoor kitchen and area can be used, although that may not be that nice if the weather isn't nice making the area for your stay then rather restricted to your room. My room was in one of the outdoor buildings, at the back of the garden, which may not be for everyone, especially if you will need facilities during the night.

The hosts kept to themselves, which is alright in a way, but it also felt a bit strange not quite knowing if they wanted to talk more or not.

Localisation top Déco trop sympa Jardin très cosy

Un petit chauffage aurait été apprécié dans la chambre car pas de coin pour manger à l'intérieur à part la chambre... Mais avec les plaids nous n'avons pas eu froid la nuit ☺️

Host is just the best and a beautiful space

It was phenomenal, no complaints

Die Unterkunft war sehr gemütlich und heimelig. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und vor allem der Gartenbereich war sehr schön. Auch die Toilette und das Bad waren sehr schön. An- und Abreise hat auch gut funktioniert, da wir vorher sehr detaillierte Nachrichten dazu erhalten haben.

Fantastic property in central Tairua, close to cafes and restaurants, very welcoming host and lovely quiet garden location. Warm accommodation with all the amenities including a full outdoor kitchen for the complete outdoorsy experience

Nothing! It was perfect

帮朋友预定的，不是自己住的，没有亲自体验。

Cute place, TV and wifi working, close to restaurants, kind host with a great house and dogs

I think it's overpriced considering it's a shed in a garden and it's low season...it was very cold in spite of the blankets provided. Having to go next door for the bathroom is a bit uncomfortable.

La ubicación

It is a garden house with a bunk bed, no heating. I can't understand how Booking allows this kind of place. It is winter and the outside is 5 degrees.I don't believe this house has a license. Bad experience!!

I slept so well, this place is peaceful, comfortable, and cosy warm. Chromecast on the TV was an added bonus. Liked the town too, loads of food options and walks. Free parking, easy to find, cute dogs.

Nothing

Beautiful place. Quiet and well kept.

The house is beautiful, cozy and clean.

The location is very handy. Within a short distance there is an abundance of shops, eateries and everything you need. The place is easy to find and parking on site is safe. It's a lovely garden arrangement with the cute chickens and the basic cabins on site. The cabins can be quite chilly, but I am comfortable with the cold and can handle cooler temperatures without having much insulation or bedding, so this was not an issue for me personally. But I could see the average person struggling during the NZ colder months.

Unfortunately, there was poo from the owner's pets on the veranda deck and around the driveway-entrance. I didn't like the fact that I had to watch every step while carrying items in and out or had to focus on my feet when I went out in the night for a pee.

Location right in the middle of town with free parking

Dog poo all over the garden

Good communication with owner, good location. Everything correct with description.

Room was a little bit dusty

Dogs were so cute! Really nice little cabin in the garden, easy access to bathroom & outdoor cooking.

Shower window was a bit intimidating but also pretty!

Loved the dogs and cat,centre of town

Lovely garden. Quirky and cool facilities

The cabin I was in was a bit close to main rd traffic

The location was ideal! Opposite the shops and Penny included really helpful information about local attractions.

This place was perfect for my son and I to relax after lots of hiking and driving. The host gave us a warm and informative welcome on our arrivial, and then left us to do our own thing. The cabin was small, comfortable and well set up. The back deck was a lovely shady place for reading, cooking and eaiting. I loved the bathroom / loo setup in the main house - the dinosaur decor and fantastic shower. The garden is divine, with great places to hang out. With the host's encouragement I ate a delicious apple off the tree. Great to have the cafe / bakery and food vans across the street also

Very well located right across from food carts coffee and excellent value for money.

Going back and forth to the house to go to the toilet was a bit of a pain. That said I knew what I was getting into.

It was exactly as described in the details. Great recommendations for food close by.

The dog jumping up at me

Great house.

Host was not sociable.

Great location right on the main strip but with plenty of parking around. The house and cabin itself was fantastic - loved having the friendly animals around and exploring the garden! Hope to be back again soon.

Cabin door was difficult to lock but very minor issue, the property felt very safe
