BernieRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had a lovely time at Lynette & Ken’s house. We had all the privacy one could want and Lynette & Ken were quick with their communications and really helpful. They are lovely helpful people who made a real effort to connect if we reached out. The bed was SO comfortable, with nice sheets and good pillows. The bathroom is top spec, better than 5 star motels in the quality of materials. The kitchen had everything we needed. The TV was easy to use. We appreciated all the local area recommendations. Fantastic generous hosts, we’d stay here again without hesitation. Thanks Lynette and Ken!

Luxury Cass Bay Retreat (A)

BryanRating, 5 stars1 month ago

The Airbnb is nice and pretty big with views of the bay. It has a lot of amenities that a lot of our other airbnbs didn’t have. It had a dedicated filtered water tap, a dryer (most Airbnb’s in NZ only have washers), electric blankets etc. Do note that the drive up to the home is relatively steep and on a gravel path, parking for a large vehicle would be quite tricky as well.
