    Response from the owner
    Hello again and thank you for your review. We need to clarify a few facts for the readers: There is a king bed and a Queen bed, one of each. “Dated appliances”- In New Zealand, for environmental reasons we do not change appliance just for the sake of keeping up to date and since the washing machine works perfectly well we see no need to change it! The kettle, toaster, microwave, fridge and dishwasher are all near new. We are stunned about the harsh comments about the outdoor baths – This feature is heavily used and complimented by many of our other guests so we have to assume it is just not your thing. The baths are antique cast iron and one of them is over 100 years old!!! They have hot piped water, candles and a brazier all of which seems to go down very well with romantics. We do not intend changing anything! Regarding pricing/discounts – you booked on Trip Advisor rentals who take a commission and $50 booking fee – You would have saved money by booking direct on our website. You stayed in high season and we do not offer discount in high season as we operate at 100% occupancy and the season is only 5 months long. We offer a totally unique experience which has high operating costs and charge accordingly. We are not a budget facility.
