6/10
We booked both rooms. The rooms are okay and clean. Felt a bit aged and hadn’t been used for a while. Instructions are minimal, and shampoo is missing in 1 room, the same room the 1 ceiling light was broken. I guess if you are tired after the bike trail for a stopover, you may not care that much, but not an ideal place to relax.
We couldn’t really cook or BBQ here. The outdoor area showed in the picture was not readily available. Had to ask and the owner came back in a few hours to connect the gas. Borrowed us a pan and a pot, but there was no water/sink, chopping board and other utensils, so didn’t feel invited to use that area. Outdoor bath was of course covered. Washing machine was constantly in use by the owner. When we came, clothes were hanging in front of one of the room entrance. We literally stayed in someone’s backyard and also felt that way, not so welcoming.
We asked if we could charge our EV and got refused. This is fine, but all the other accommodations we stayed had allowed to us to do that. So we felt more differences in hospitality. The owner didn’t try to assess how much power it may be used, just a straight no. Charging from a domestic plug is very slow and wont used much compared to what we paired over $400 for both rooms. All we wished was to save us an hour to reach Dunedin to recharge.
