Great location,

We loved the house it was warm and perfect size for our family. Really disappointed that there was no milk in the fridge when we got there, there was no pepper and no handee towels. No condiments whatsoever. We are a kiwi family who live in the states and we visit family regularly- time is always against us as we are catching up with so many family. I found it odd there wasn’t even pepper let alone peanut butter in the cupboard. Happy to take 1400 off us for a couple of nights but not provide paper towels? Or milk? We loved this wee house but doubt we would use it again as the condiments/supplies really were minimal.
Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025
