“Very good - with reservations.”
This is a converted church that certainly had a wow factor on arrival. On closer inspection we found the large bed wasn't - it had a large base but smaller mattress which was too soft for us. A… More

Response from the owner We are sorry that This guest did not find things perfect for them- I guess we can't please everybody 100% of the time. We have been a Superhost (all 5 star reviews) on AirBnB for over a year, our booking.com score is in the mid 9's and almost all our reviews leave us with a great feeling of satisfaction and pride in our building.

Response from the owner We appreciate that it can be a big adjustment coming from the heat of the tropics to the middle of NZ in winter, however when we checked we found that this guest had not followed the clear instructions in the house manual and the heat pump (which is the largest commercial grade that we could source) was not set correctly. Because of the very high vaulted ceiling its never going to be 30 degrees inside in the middle of winter, but if its set right then you can get it a reasonable temperature inside the building
