Braemar accommodation from NZ$115

Welcoming house with lots of space to relax. Well equipped and homely. Quiet location with outside space in secluded garden. Perfect for our long weekend - 6 adults.

I would add to these issues,that the toilet upstairs is set back in a combe behind the oversized sink unit so we had to sit askew to avoid bumped heads and banging legs on sharp edges of the unit. The grouting in the shower is in need of freshening up. No welcome pack was listed or expected but the herbs and spices which are listed included a pot of curry powder that expired in 2022 and a chilli that had expired in 1995!

It would be good to have a tv in the lounge area. I have
