A lovely place in a great location.

10am is very early to have to leave by. Even harder when you have to wash all sheets and hang them. We all bought our own sheets to skip that part. Enjoyed our time there though. Great set up and environmentally sound. House is well placed for the sun being warm in winter and cool in summer.

Quiet and peaceful

Very nice secluded setting conveniently located for us while being quiet and peaceful. Some confusion over cleaning requirement - online information said that we needed to leave the house clean, which we took to mean that we needed to clean the house. But owner arrived at leaving time to "do the cleaning" she said! More 'friendly' advice would have been helpful.

Lovely clean, contemporary light filled home in beautiful setting. But what a shame - thats where it ended. Host had warned us about dishwasher not working - we were fine with that. But oven didn’t work, wifi not working, no 2nd bathroom as advertised, which we needed. 2nd bdrm very hard cheap mattress. Sheets on beds were strange transparent fluffy nylon - lots of static electricity which we decided not to sleep in, so we changed them. Sheets in linen cupboard in VERY POOR condition - threadbare pilled sheets not fit for op shop. We messaged host asking to phone us twice. She didn’t. Message for guests not welcoming - just a list of “don’t dos” (including “don’t take plants or soil out of the garden”?) It’s such a pity, because with a little bit more care it could have been a great experience.

Amazing Venue

We had a lovely stay in an amazing house. Was very private and spacious. Will definitely recommend to friends and will book again on our next visit if available. Could have done with some fans as it was quite muggy. We bought some for our stay and gave them to whanau when we left.

Gizzy Home

Gizzy Accom Nice sunny house amongst the hills. Great location being close to town. We wouldn’t stay again for a few reasons. Beds were the most uncomfortable we’ve ever had, springs poking into our ribs when sleeping on our sides. Our two year old daughter slept on one of the single beds and it rocked every time she rolled over. You are expected to do all the cleaning but the vaccum cleaner is faulty, the dishwasher was broken and all linen is needed to be washed by 10am checkout? We took our own sheets to avoid this. We had a few light bulbs blow during our stay and also the carpet is so old and wearing away that the carpet tacks are exposed and very very sharp if stood on. For the price paid, we would expect much more.

Stay in Gisborne

Loved the location and the setting of the property. House was lovely and roomy but we were disappointed at the standard of the single beds provided. Overall we enjoyed our stay. The children particularly enjoyed the garden area.

Gisborne heat

Overall the property is quite nice but it could be great. It is very hot in Gisborne and there is no air con - this would have been a nice additional feature (and worth paying a little extra for). Some of the carpet is getting worn on the edges and exposing the naplock bar underneath which has very sharp 'nails' so you need to be careful if not wearing shoes. The setting is very nice and although 'rural' is very close to the city (5 mins).

Gisborne

We could not access the swabs for the outside chairs as they were locked in the cupboard in the lounge and we did not have the key to the lounge. This meant the chairs were uncomfortable to sit on. My friends thought their beds were uncomfortable. Tge blinds did not shut out all the light from the lounge so the person who slept in the lounge was woken up by the sunlight at 5am. It was also a bit much to wash the sheets - it took 5 washing machine loads to do all this washing. Other than this it was a great property with great country views, with nice decks from which to enjoy the views.
