As soon as we arrived (we had not entered the home yet) we received a text from the Host to ask how many people we were checking in. This was as our friend who lived in Twizel turned up at the same time we did to say "Hi" and so we could follow her to her home. Our integrity was questioned before we had even set foot inside. It set the tone. The second day, I pulled up to the Cottage and the Host came running out, again before I even set foot inside. I did not feel like chatting, I had, had bad news and my mind was full. I don't go on holiday to make friends with Hosts and these two events made us feel as if we were being watched. As such, we did not use the Hot Tub and left one night early. Also their pillows are awful. All the same. Disappear as soon as your head hits them. We were given one towel each for 3 nights. The cottage is full of instruction signs. Don't do this, do this that way, remember to etc It was not a relaxing vibe at all. Would not return.
