Arkstone accommodation from NZ$203

This add is truly deceiving. It seems lovely from the exterior, and we had a great time around the fire, but that was about it.The toilet is eco - fine. But the bin next to the toilet was filled with used toilet paper from previous guests and the smell was horrendous. The toilet seat is also broken is multiple different places and isn’t even whole. Although, it was still better than the rancid smell of the fridge, which had clearly had bourbon spilt in it previously and not cleaned, left closed and not to air out, causing the most horrid smell. We opened it once and had to leave the unit, we never opened it again.The disdained was lined with dead flies, bugs, and dirt. The face washer had someone else’s boogers on them. The shower door isn’t even connected to the wall properly and has a big crack in it, causing the shower door to not even close properly. So by the end of the shower we were practically in a bath. The add says massages are available in the barn - I asked, never heard about them. THANK GOD. We walked to said barn.. it’s filthy, cluttered, junk laying around everywhere, and there is absolutely no way it is somewhere I’d be willing to get a massage. Nor does the barn look anything like the photos provided, or the property in itself so please don’t think you’re going to a cute little farm. We also had to listen to the owners scream profanities at each other for a good half an hour around 8:30pm. I honestly wanted to leave before we went to sleep, so we did.

The house was clean and well presented. The beds were comfortable and the chickens cute!

Beautiful, peaceful and dog friendly!!! Me loved it, our dog loved it and made 2 new friends in Jacks and Mitchell!!! We will definitely come back again! What a gem!
