    Loved our stay. Classic Lockwood house. Beautiful views. Everything we needed. We had access to a rental car which was good.

    The property was in a lovely location, about 5-10 mins from the main town. Lots of space and comfortable.

    The oven was filthy and some of the cups were dirty. We washed all the dishes before using them. The property was poorly maintained with ferns growing up through the decks (which also had some protruding nails) and dirty windows. On our second day, all the lights blew when someone used a hairdryer. We left two messages on at the number given but heard nothing back. Luckily there were lamps that worked on the mains power and hot water and fridges were still on.

    Property response:

    Hi Elizabeth, sorry we missed you calls. Next time try messaging through booking.com or ring my cell phone. It's just a simple fuse switch when high powered things are plugged into the shaver plug. I like the ferns, I'm sorry they offended you.

    Beautiful view and setting on a vineyard.

    The actual house, although looks good in the photos, is very old and desperately needs renovation - particularly the kitchen. It smells old and musty. Many of the drapes are badly stained. There seemed to be quite a few cobwebs in various places. On the verandahs there were boards that appeared to be unsafe. Much of the indoor furniture is old and needs to be replaced. The beds were ok. The outdoor furniture needs to be replaced as it is old, worn and generally uncared for. There is no wifi available at the house. You need to walk down to the wine bar area for reception. On the whole it was very disappointing and I was a bit embarrassed that I had booked this property for the group. Please note, we give it a 2 out of 5 score, not the 4 that appears to be placed automatically.

    Property response:

    Thanks for the feedback Rowan. Our humble winemakers house is great value for money. The beds are amazing and nearly new by the way.

    Great for a big group of people. We had 12 people staying and the homes suited us perfectly.

    A bit of investment in some better quality pillows would have gone a long way for a better nights sleep.

    Property response:

    Hi Caren Thanks for the review. You are right about the pillows - I will get some better ones. Cheers

    Great size house and location for a family trip

    Upstairs bathroom could do with a blind on the window facing the BBQ area

    Location was fabulous, right by the water fairy taxi. Loved it that there was x2 houses close together to accommodate a large group of x14. The views are amazing!! The main house was so spacious.

    Only Location

    There was no hospitality. No one is available after 4 PM. The guest house had a lot of cobwebs inside and outside. The utensils in the kitchen were not clean. There was no dishwasher and no washing machine in such a big property. Algae was growing all over the chairs, which were kept out.

    Property response:

    Very early check-in allowed, late check-out allowed, timely messaging, always available by phone. I suspect expectations may have been a bit high for a sharply priced house (not hotel) on Waiheke Island. There is a washing machine. Thanks for staying with us.

    Top house was lovely, big and comfortable, with outstanding views. The smaller older property was a little tired but comfortable.

    When lit the fire in the top house smoked us out - maybe the chimney needs cleaning and there was no smoke detector upstairs. In the smaller house a couple of the ranch sliders were difficult to open.

    Property response:

    Hi Sorry about the fire. I should have advised you how to open the flue. I agree the Guesthouse is tired but I prefer to say 'charming' or 'homely'

    Fabulous house and lovely views. Loved the wine tasting at Kennedy Point vineyard

    We didn't quite realise how far the house was from town and any shops. We didn't get a pass for the bus, so we relied on taxis, which were very good and quick to get to us
