    The walking path to the property is dangerously slippery if damp. The shower leaks around the toilet. The basin in the bathroom is very high but a step is provided. The door handle comes off in the bathroom. The stovetop is very very hard to turn on.

    Maybe just some clearer instructions on how to lock the door as we weren't absolutely certain.

    An absolute gem of a property. Great character but with all the modern conveniences. Quiet, peaceful and accessible. Superb presentation.

    The cement walkway, particularly at the beginning, was steep to drag our suitcases up. Other than that, no complaints.

    It was secluded and comfortable. The location was good. It was just a short drive to Kaka Point and the restaurant. The beach was in walking distance. Nugget Point Light was a short drive. Owaka was about 15 minutes away. Tips: If you are arriving late, buy your groceries in Owaka. The grocery store in Kaka Point is not open in the evening and it doesn't open until 12:00 noon the next day. Also, the restaurant in Kaka Point is closed on Sunday and Monday. It does not serve breakfast since it doesn't open till 12:00 noon. There are cafes and restaurants in Owaka that serve breakfast and are open Sunday and Monday.

    Details need to specify the steep access to the property. The kitchen area is badly designed. It was very awkward to use. Everything seemed to have been designed for giants. As a 5' 2' woman there were many things I could not reach!. Guests need to be warned that there is an alarm system to navigate. We were not impressed when the host failed to respond to messages about a problem we encountered. It felt that we were living in someone's home rather than a holiday let in which we could relax.

    The location close to the beach was great. Well equipped. Welcomed the washing machine and the dish washer. Bed and shower both good. Lovely views.

    Would be perfect it it had an oven but very tricky to know where to put it. Needs making clear it has a microwave oven. We mistakenly took some inappropriate food to cook.

    Wonderful quiet location. Garden furniture great

    The path to the studio unit was narrow & relatively steep. The gurgling sound from the kitchen drain the owner needs to know that the shower leaks.
