Great stay, amazing location and house

Had a group of 7 adults, there were plenty of sleeping spots, great cooking utilities and heating options provided. Only critique is that the loft has not had proper cleaning in some time and so has an off putting smell.

Nice home and getaway

Home is nice, view is beautiful, just a few small complaints. The driveway is only designed for Suv's and trucks with ground clearance. This needs to be noted as my car got damaged. The camera facing out onto the deck felt a bit invasive.Towels,bedsheets and spa really needs to be included in the vost. anf

We really enjoyed our stay. Very well stocked kitchen including wine glasses, cocktail shaker and glasses, air fryer, slow cooker, coffee machine, teapot, quality cookware, and basic cooking ingredients. BYO coffee plunger though! The sunny dining area was really nice, and the electric blankets on all the beds were appreciated. The driveway required a high clearance vehicle, we recommend not attempting it in a two wheel drive or in the dark!!

Beautiful, great location! Lots of small details that made it a wonderful stay (blankets, games, appliances)! We went mid winter and it was super warm. There is a pretty sharp incline to flat at the top of the drive which will probably scrape the bottom of your car if its not a truck, but the was heaps of roadside parking and its not far at all from the front door!

Chalet

Owner was very helpful, when we arrived, previous occupants hadn't cleaned and she was very accomodating. Lovely sunny warm property. Stairs are steep and access and parking is tricky so if you have injuries be are of this. One of the beds was broken but there are plenty of beds if your group size is around 5. We would happily stay here again even with the challenges of the stairs.

Friends get away

Was a nice warm house with everything that we needed, was a little concerned that the loft hadn’t been cleaned or checked as there was food, bottle caps and wasps in there. Great that all bedrooms are on the ground floor but for lighter sleepers not so good as you can hear every footstep from above. Found the security camera that was by the deck a little invasive and felt like our privacy was being invaded a little.

Disappointing

Unfortunately my worst experience with a holiday home. We ended up staying elsewhere and left 10 minutes after arriving. First of all property was nothing like the photos. It was very small and outdated, pics made it look so much bigger. There was also a security camera facing the back bbq/decking area which felt like a huge invasion of privacy. I booked this trip for my recently widowed sister and family who flew down from Auckland. Unfortunately as someone who was a first time user of bookabach we were unaware that we were meant to bring our own bed linen (which is difficult when flying from outside of Christchurch. When i called the owner to ask if i could hire some linen (very basic request) i was absolutely shocked by the way in which she spoke. I was told on the phone she would rather just ‘cancel the booking’ after spending so much time/travel etc flying from Auckland. We were told it was ‘disgusting’ not to bring linen. I requested the hot tub which was locked when i arrived and when i asked about this was told that if im not going to be responsible enough to fill the tub up to just not bother using it. Overall just a really condescending unpleasant woman to deal with. I have never been spoken to in such an inappropriate manner from someone in the hospitality sector. Honestly do yourself a favour and dont book this house. Its cheap for a reason!

Great place to stay

Love this house, love the view, the ease of access to Conical Hill and the walking tracks. It's well laid out with the bedrooms downstairs, plenty of comfy beds, fire place upstairs which allows the house to get really warm, the kids loved the loft. Everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. The hot tub was awesome too. Loved the stay. Thank you :)

Good family sized home but needs some work

Lovely view. The driveway is quite dangerous, we tried to drive up it but decided to park out on the road. House was roomy and had all we needed but not very clean on arrival and couches/beds were pretty dated.We had thought there was a pool but turns out that was just the hot tub. Owner contacted several times with lengthy conversations as was getting hot tub fixed when we were there...was meant to be a couple of hours but the man was there all day until 6
