The views of the water and mountains from the deck were fabulous. Comfortable rooms and bed. We had not expected the low level of tech - no wifi, no television. There is a television set but it does not work for broadcast or pay TV, only plays DVDs. Other appliances came from last century. This is according to the guide in the living room traditional for a NZ batch. Lots of rules and instructions - felt like going back to way things ran in the 1960s. Some, like "take your rubbish and recycling home with you", are really not appropriate for international guests. This property would probably work fine for kiwis who want a nostalgic family experience. Hosts were considerate and nice, communicated well, but appeared out of their depth.
