Exactly as it is listed
This is a great spot for a group holiday stay. It is close to multiple beaches (but I would recommend driving rather than walking to them). The house has everything you need to have a comfortable stay. Jason is a very responsive and kind host.

The log cabin
Great place, lots of space, quiet, a bit like a bach on the Coromandel twenty years ago, even got a DVD player with DVDs from the past, e.g. Ray Charles, or a Woodstock doc :-)

Property met needs
Everything fine. It was a little uncomfortable due to rain and humidity and no means to cool house. No screens for windows and bugs outside

Good getaway
Me and my friends booked this place for a good getaway for the weekend. House is lovely and the view from the spa is incredible. Neighbours are friendly and good neighbourhood in general. Town centre and beaches are quiet close so that was very convenient. House was very clean and everything we needed to know was in the booklet. Would recommend.

Tranquil and private in an excellent location.
Wonderful quiet, private property with plenty of space for everyone and a great atmosphere. Excellent location - near to the city and to the beach. Lovely to sit outside, relax and listen to the tui. Felt like home in a more convenient location!
House is really well equipped and liked that there are good recycling and composting facilities, and eco products to clean with.
Thank you so much - we hope to stay again.

Short break away with family
House is nice and quiet, has a lovely large kitchen with dishwasher, oven and hob. There is a lovely view to the hills from the deck. The spa pool wasn't working which was very disappointing. At the time of booking it was working and it was only a week prior we were advised that it wasn't working. There were also no curtains or blinds in one of the bedrooms so it mean't the person sleeping in this room got woken up at sunrise. I also cleaned the toilet upon arriving as there was faecal matter still in the bowl and under the rim. Excellent selection of board games and nice having the TV and DVD player too. We also washed the bath mat prior to using it as it had alot of stains and marks on it which came out after a good wash.

Thanks for your feedback Jennifer,again apologies about the spa,it broke down not long before your stay.
and I couldn't get it repaired in time.
I can offer you another stay at a very discounted rate any time after July 7th that's available as compensation.
Please contact me to discuss this if you're interested.
All other points are noted and will be addressed.
thanks Jason

We really enjoyed our long weekend away at the Log Cabin. Very cosy, warm and roomy. Spa pool and bbq were popular. Home away from home as everything we needed was there including lots of board games for the kids. Just what we needed for family time and just out of Auckland. Would definitely use again and Jason was easy to deal with.

Nice large home, easy access to and from motorway
We stayed at this property for two nights recently, a mixture of adults and children, great location, easy access to and from auckland motorway. Nice homely vibe with plenty of space inside and out for the whole family. Jason was fantastic to deal with, would stay again if we were in the area.
