Reviews of Liz on Lowry

The highlight was Liz herself. I would very happily return here next time I'm in the Hawkes Bay area. The house is very tidy. I really enjoyed waking up to beautiful birdsongs each morning. I also enjoyed having access to a full kitchen, bathroom, and loungeroom that you wouldn't get with a hotel stay. If I wanted to roast a leg of lamb, I'd have the facilities and have been welcome to do so.

The location was good to all locations we went.

Perhaps not to have too much personal stuff in the room. I know they are family memories but not keen looking at stranger photos in the bedroom.

Clean and private

My own fault I didn't read the report properly. There was no chair in the bedroom. Therefore no where to sit. And no Tv. As I said these are things I would have liked but the place was as advertised, my mistake

S

The breakfast was a bit sparse no offer to watch the request to remove our shoes was fair enough but no seats were provided at one stage l had to sit on the floor to put my shoes on

Very quiet locale

Not so clean (e.g.mirror in bathroom, toothpaste on vanity)

Friendly welcome, the lovely room, the facicilities, the lovely breakfast.

We discovered fully hosted and sharing of hosts lounge etc is not for us.

The room was clean and the en-suite bathroom was nice.

The accommodation listing included many facilities which were not available to us. Guests have no access to the kitchen facilities or living area or anything other than a bedroom with en-suite bathroom. The listing is totally misleading. This property offers a bed and breakfast only, with no other facilities. My wife and I left and found an alternative accommodation. Subsequently we got a refund from booking.com.

Very quiet. Nice breakfast . Great shower Liz not intrusive

Bed small . No radio in bedroom Did not feel comfortable making cup of tea after 9pm in kitchen Bit restrictive

Spacious bathroom and comfortable bed.

Lots of private items in the bedroom making it a bit weird. Pretty basic breakfast but was ok.

Clean and good location

Good communication, well organised and comfortable room

Excellent bed.cleanliness.good breakfast.the host Liz, a lovely lady.

Liz was extremely accommodating and friendly

Nice breakfast, good variety of cereals and breads and quality high . Large kitchen and living room space available for guests. High quality decor. Liz very friendly and accommodating. She made us feel completely at home.

Liz was such a great host, welcomed me into her beautiful home with a smile. Always made sure I had what I needed and I was warm and was always down for a good yarn! Felt very safe in her space and the breakfast was just what I needed in the morning. Space was spotless, couldn’t even feel how cold it really was. Frimley is also such a beautiful neighbourhood. 10/10 recommend, will definitely be looking up Liz again when heading back to Hastings

Shared kitchen and shared place which was not mentioned in booking .com. 9pm to 7 am – there is a curfew imposed we were not allowed to go to the kitchen to get even water, we had been asked to get water from the toilet during this time. Rude and threatening behaviour which left me shaken on my competition day. Furthermore, the booking stated a Buffet/continental breakfast. Sunday morning, when we were leaving at 9am – All that we saw placed in the kitchen was 1 piece of Kiwifruit. No bread, no milk in the fridge or peanut butter jam. This was a very bad experience and we would like you to investigate and we should be refunded the booking amount in Full.

Dear Booking.com What a horrifying experience we had at Liz at Lowery place. I booked the accommodation in Hastings as I had a sports competition there. Based on the listing, we arrived at 6pm excited for my event the next day. The First impression was weird when Liz explained that we had a room with attached bathroom and everything else was shared The description on the booking does not at all mention that this was a shared situation. We explained our schedule that 8pm I had to attend a briefing and tanning for the bodybuilding competition to be held the following day. We left at 8pm and after the tanning at around 9pm, we bought dinner and come back to Liz. We sat done on the bar stool by the Island in the kitchen to have our dinner. We obviously switched the light and were not even speaking to each other when Liz stomped out of her bedroom and started scolding us that after 9pm to 7am – there is a curfew imposed and we have to remain in our rooms only and the kitchen should not be entered. She said that she is a support worker and works shifts and cannot sleep if the kitchen light is switched on and any light in the house is switched on. We must remain in our rooms – I explained that we do not have the habit of eating in our room on the bed – we always ate in the dining or lounge or kitchen – I promised to be quiet and quick. But this further infuriated Liz and she kept abusing us until we left the kitchen and went into the bedroom. Nothing was mentioned on booking.com that it will be shared kitchen or shared place. There was no Tv, bedroom was cramped and only enough for bed and a work table and office chair. We were promised continental breakfast for us as mentioned when we book the place. Liz sent the policy of her house once we paid the amount. We were aware of quite time so Friday night after my comp prep came home at 9.30 quietly turn on kitchen light to have dinner. Liz came and started scolding that we void the police and we kept asking about our mistake.

Tucked away in the " burbs " Liz on Lowry is quiet but well located base from which to explore.. Liz recommended the local 4 Square for wine and snacks ( great selection )and then Jarks a local restaurant..which was really good. Listen to Liz she knows.

We had to leave earlier than we planned.
