Great stay, property was clean, and plenty of space for the 3 of us. Had a kitchenette with everything we needed to cook dinner and breakfast. Close to a lot of nice hikes and only about 20-25 min from Golden Bay. Property manager was very friendly and helpful, we did use the community laundry facilities which were nice to have and they had laundry baskets, detergent and drying racks, so that was really helpful. Parking is right next to your unit and easy to get in and out of. Would definitely stay here again, thanks for a great stay!!

Property was great for what we needed. We stayed here again as on a previous stay we couldn't fault the accommodation. However this time it was still good but the shower pressure was low, the kettle/jug leaked and reception was closed on the couple of occasions I went to request another jug and more milk. I did not actively follow this up as there was an option to phone the owners so I can't really complain. Overall very nice stay.
