great location

not so clean

Plenty of room and the area was nice

The TV in the upstairs bedroom wouldn't scan the channels to work

House is good size once bedrooms are open. Fast unlimited interent. Good heating in rooms.

I was a little lost when arriving, called the host introduced myself and was immediately spoken back saying "I've already sent everything' before I could explain why I was calling. All 4 rooms are locked and non accessible. I made the mistake of choosing the cheaper price which made the booking which changed from 3 people to 1. I traveled with my 2 kids. We got to the house only 1 bedroom was unlocked. When I contacted the host, they said extra $50 to open 2 rooms. That was fine. I asked for top room and a side room open. They said no that's extra $310. They came over within the hour to open 2 rooms. Only 1 draw of cutlery and few pots and pans and plates and glasses. No cleaning items are available, only dishwasher liquid. No dishwasher tablets are available. No vacuum available. Only access to 1 bathroom as 2nd bathroom is in upstairs bedroom locked. There was a note on all side tables of beds saying sleep between the sheets and not under duvet or you will incur a fine of $75. House has a lot of wear and tear. The stair banister is broken and loose on the wall at one end. Staples were sticking up in the carpet between lounge and kitchen. Large dead cochroach in the kitchen.

The space and the fact there wasn't anything around the kids could grab etc

The fact the TV didn't work for us. Might have been user error but we tried everything and I'm technology savvy

Beautiful lovely spacious home

We had stayed here last year and it was great This year There were many things different The sugar was only about 2 tsps in it and had other things in it We tipped it out There was no milk this year

Whoops probably put that above .. Pillows very hard .. Towels very small Just missing the touches that were there last year No paper towels.. no tissues.. Accessory draw .no tongs serving spoons no scissors or small sharp knifes to open things

Everything was absolutely awesome nice warm home for our kids close to alot of shops excellent communication

Location was good for what we needed. Rooms good size. Owner easy to deal with

The kitchen is not well stocked - needs salad bowls, grater, fry pan utensils …. This is just the stuff we needed but it did not have. Outdoor furniture would be handy as it’s a nice outdoor area. Could not get the insinkerator to work? House smelled musty when closed up.

Very good value for money given that we had a whole house to accomodate the three of us. It meant our other two daughters could hang out with us before going back to their own house in Hamilton and we had room to spread out. Massive lounge with plenty of seats with the 2 couches and 2 lazy boys. Nice and quiet being down a lane even though you were close to a main road. Bonus to have cereals provided but no milk to have with them Will definitely keep this place in mind for future bookings.

No milk provided - not sure if that was mentioned in the booking details Think the sugar is kind of old - was an odd mix of raw and white sugar Need more blankets - there was only one on each bed which weren't very thick and only one extra in the wardrobe. Heaters didn't seem to warm up the rooms much

Great location with plenty of space

Property is getting a bit tired, could do with refreshing.

Great spot, beautiful home with everything you need, lovely heat pump and nice and quiet thank you for having us!

Clean tidy cosey safe

This place has a lot of space and would be great for a few days with a few people. It’s not the newest or cleanest but checkin was easy and try e facilities were good.

Not the cleanest. Could definitely use a deep clean.

Value- property was good value.

It was very hot upstairs when we arrived in summer, but there were fans to use, so once the windows were open and we went out for a bit it was ok. Didn't like the pillows, but there was one in the cupboard in our room that one of us could use.

The space?

Pillows so so hard! There are no power points in the bathroom. No outside furniture. But mostly the location. I hadn't realized how far it was from the CBD. It cost me $112 in taxi fare. Had I known it was so far out, I would have spent more on accommodation in the CBD.

Easy to miss the poorly marked entrance lane. The house was scruffy: chipped paint, worn carpets, half-broken armchair.

Big house. Everything you need. Good location and felt private. Really good value for money

House was very hot - fans in all bedrooms helped somewhat. Pillows were all huge and hard... recommend taking your own if you like a softer or flatter pillow

It was the perfect location to where we required to be. All for bedrooms were available to select from. For the price that we paid for both nights between four of us I think it was value for money. There was ample parking for the three required cars one being a Pontiac which was being use as a bridal car. Would I stay again - yes.

If I had to make a suggestion which another guest had made in the reviews some serving bowls as there is nothing unless you use a pot or desert plates. If you have an elderly person in your group be aware that they will have to go up and down about 6 steps to go to the toilet. The only other suggestion it the carpet on the steps, I think it is time for this to be replaced as it has worn right through and now it a trip hazard if you were not careful and your tow or shoe good caught.

Spacious rooms

Lack of amenities.

It was comfortable and enjoyed our night will most definitely come back

Great location with a 5 minute walk to access the Waikato river walk.

The home wasn’t very clean and didn’t have any tea towels.

Everything

Smell

The space is spacious, and the price is reasonable.

The pillows were too high and a bit firm, which caused discomfort for our entire family after a night of sleep. I even couldn't bear it during the night and ended up sleeping on the sofa. The sofa has a reclining footrest, similar to a lazy chair, and it felt much better sleeping there. I sincerely suggest the host consider providing softer and lower pillows in each room, along with some small blankets, as it can get a bit cold at night. The house feels a little old, and I suspect it lacks proper insulation. During the day, the sun heats the house, making it warm, but it gets noticeably cold at night. Updating the wall sockets would make the interior feel more modern, and replacing the carpets could elevate the house's overall comfort and luxury. In fact, this property has a decent amount of space, and with some improvements, it could greatly enhance its value.

We like that it was clean and spacious

None

The size it’s very spacious The pillows

No outdoor furniture Very few kitchen items bowls/serving dishes Ants

Heaps room

No dish cloth

Space, two bathrooms, comfortable and location

Affordable, Spacious house with good facilities exactly as mentioned. The owner was very helpful and responded immediately even at late night when we had trouble accessing the property.

plenty of room and very comfortable.

Very beautiful and spacious. Loved the kitchen, dining and lounge area. The outdoor space was nice and scenic. Just a 2min drive from a little shopping centre too

The driveway is shared and a little bit tricky to get in and out of but not a huge inconvenience

Perfect size next time we will stay a few more days convenient to Flagstaff shops River walks and the Flagstaff Sports Club. Beds were super comfy and whare was overall spacious and easy to find.

Love this house, would stay here again! Beds we're so comfy.

Easy to find, very central, well equipped, and just a 5 min walk to the Flagstaff shopping centre. Three friends and we each had a bedroom that was quiet and comfortable. Loved the convenience of the two bathrooms and the kitchen had everything you could want.

Pillows were a little hard, but that was a very minor issue.

Great location, very spacious

pillows were very hard, no bowls, had to make salad in a pot.

Quiet spacious

It's was beautiful and peaceful

Nothing was amazing

Nice, Open space, good sized rooms.

Would have prefered a washing machine to wash towels.

Great place. Big house, fitted us nicely. Lovely area. Only stayed for 1 night but very happy. Beds were very comfortable.

Nothing.

It was easy to heat, comfortable and spacious

The kitchen was stunning! Also the front garden was perfect for photos! Loved the whole house in general!

I didn’t like it didn’t have like rubbish bags or cleaning supplies out so I could do a quick clean before we left.

Everything it is a beautiful home

Just a wee recommendation it just would have been awesome to have a washer and dryer available for laundry and also a vacuum cleaner to keep the home clean

The Host has clear, concise instructions that are very efficient and easy to follow. It is a lovely spacious villa that is homely and accommodating. Not overly bougie and not crass either. Stayed for a girls weekend for the Womens expo and it was comfortable and great value for money. I would highly recommend to anyone and families too.

Great stay at this place I regret not booking an extra night! Home was very much clean and facilities were great! Very warm home once the heat pump was on and each room have a heater which was amazing very central to everything and a very lovely home! Thanks to this place I will book here from now on every time we’re in hamilton! The owner Vinny is very lovely and kind thanks so much!

Loved space.

Noisy roadside on bedroom sides No Mirrors in bedrooms Pillows very firm

Not much

Location, neatness, maintenance, supplies

The house was spacious and warm. Perfect for a family.

The space and amazing sized kitchen. The place was so warm and so relaxing We didn't realise it was an actual house.

N/A

I like the property and the area it is located nice quiet and good for family. The property was clean and good size house.

NA

Exactly what was needed.Easy to locate

This place is great! So spacious and tidy. Well worth your money! Vinny was super easy to communicate with, and was very accommodating with our requests. We'd happily stay again ! :)

This place was massive, better than a little motel room. Very clean and comfortable. Reasonably priced.

The bed was super comfortable and we had a great sleep. The location was very handy to shops, with an excellent cafe! Loved that the owner of the property messaged me re an item I left and returned it to via post, very quickly.

Perfect property for what we wanted.

Size of house and bedrooms

Hardly anything in the kitchen in terms of utensils.

Great location, can hear the traffic but not a bother. Just up the road from the flagstaff shopping centre. Seven minutes to the base shopping centre and 5 minutes to Rototuna shopping centre - Countdown and NW. Great place to stay and would stay again.

No sharp knives in the kitchen. No knife for cutting buns. No access to the laundry,

Comfortable beds, easy to warm/cool with the heat pump. Spacious, very large bathroom. So much better than a small hotel room for the same price.

Very firm pilows.

Spacious home, clean + warm.

Lack of utensils to cook with, eg sharp knife etc

Great kitchen and very clean

There is no power points in the bathroom. As there were no mirrors in the bedrooms it made it hard to blow dry/style the hair. The pillows in both bedrooms were hard - no softer ones to choose from. One bedroom the mattress was super firm.

The owner/manager was extremely helpful and corresponded well

The only downside was the house had a very "bare" feel to it.

Location perfect Was really suitable for our requirements

Pillows were very solid

The host communicated very well and tried very hard to work around our requirements. Would be happy to stay again.

Furnishings somewhat basic and only catered for 6 people even though we had 7. Other than that though they met our needs. Beds were comfy and house was warm.

Location

House could have more decorations, would look more comfortable

plenty of room comfortable excellent communications

nothing really, thou as we were there for a full week access to laundry room could of been a bonus. We also did our own cooking We got by with what was available We just like to make a few suggestions for future stayers like possibly having some books and games in lounge area, Outdoor table and chairs And few extra items in kitchen like pair of scissors, a grater, can opener, a mixing/ serving bowl, paper towels

Location. Big spacey lounge/dining areas.

No power point in bathroom. Lack of mirror only in bathroom. No instructions for air con units. Too hot & stuffy.

No breakfast. Location was great.

Great location, clean, nice kitchen

We booked for 4 adults (friends). It’s a 4 bedroom house but owners decided we didn’t need the 4th bedroom after we booked it so we had to share a bed which we weren’t expecting

spacious

more seating in living area needed. Some outdoor seating No tin foil/gladwrap/wineglasses, mixing serving bowls if there's a kitchen people are going to want to use it. A BBQ would also be good. WE loaded the dish washer just before we left but couldn't get the door on the soap dispenser to close so we .had to leave it. Also we left our dinner on the bench while we relaxed with a drink came back to find the ants had beaten us to it
