Great cosy little cabin beside a wild beach
Pros:

Loved staying here with my dog and walking the beaches looking for rocks. The hosts were very warm and welcoming, the cabin was warm and well set up and I loved the free breakfast.
I’ll be back for sure next time I’m passing though.

KATASTROPHE - NICHT BUCHEN !!!
Pros:

Der Wasserdruck der Dusche

Cons:

- Campingtoilette, es stank - Die Wand des Badezimmers endet in halber Höhe
- extrem kalt - Mini Radiator, der niemals den ganzen Raum heizen kann
- Bett komplett durchgelegen, selbst mit meinen 65 kg habe ich die Federn des Bettes gemerkt
- super laut bei Regen
- Hot Tub wie so oft in anderen Kommentaren erwähnt „leider grade kaputt gegangen“

Und am wichtigsten: ein super aggressiver Vermieter, als wir nach einem Rabatt wegen des nicht funktionierenden Hot Tub fragten

Pros:

Caravan was as pictured. The hosts were very friendly and available if needed. Ver quiet area.

Cons:

The spa wasn’t working. We were told the day of our arrival. Not a big deal but we would’ve love using it. Wifi wasn’t working as too far from the router (not surprising tho, not a big issue for us).

恶心的房东
Cons:

设施清单与实际情况严重不符，房东额外收费且态度恶劣
预订时看到房屋设施清单上明确列出“壁炉”和“洗衣机”，但入住当天就遇到了问题：
1. 壁炉无法使用：房东表示要到5月底冬季才能用，但房源信息中完全没有注明使用时间的限制。我在其他房源都正常使用过壁炉，这里的情况与描述严重不符。
2. 洗衣机被限制使用且额外收费：我不到下午6点提出使用洗衣机，房东却说“太晚了”，我质疑后对方改口要收取5新币才能用。关于洗衣机的使用时间和额外收费，平台信息中没有任何说明。
房东的做法让我觉得信息不透明、服务不专业。希望平台能加强管理，也提醒其他房客在预订前务必确认这些“隐性规则”。
Listed amenities not as described – additional charges and poor attitude

When booking, the property clearly listed “fireplace” and “washing machine” as amenities. However, on the day of check-in, I encountered the following issues:

1. Fireplace not usable: The host said it can only be used from the end of May (winter season). This time restriction was not mentioned anywhere in the listing. I have stayed at other properties where the fireplace was usable without such restrictions – this is clearly inconsistent with the description.
2. Washing machine restricted and extra fee demanded: I requested to use the washing machine before 6 PM. The host refused, saying it was “too late”. When I challenged that, they then said I would have to pay NZD 5 to use it. No time restrictions or additional fees for the washing machine were disclosed on the platform.

I find the host’s practices unprofessional and lack transparency. I hope the platform will strengthen its oversight, and I would advise future guests to confirm these “hidden rules” before booking.

**BEACHSIDE BLISS IN BARRYTOWN **
Pros:

My elderly mum and I had the most wonderful stay in Barrytown in the beautiful surroundings near Punakaiki. Karen and Nigel are such lovely, welcoming hosts who have created a truly beautiful beachside retreat. The cabin we stayed in (Koru) had everything we needed and it's located so close to the sea, the views and scenery are absolutely breathtaking. I had the most amazing sleep in an incredibly comfortable bed, and the shower was fantastic with great pressure! The overall ambiance and peacefulness made it a highlight of our trip. We couldn't have asked for a better experience—highly recommended and I will definitely be back again to stay.. Thanks again guys, you're AMAZING hosts! 🌞 🌴 🌊 🏖️ 🐚 ✨

Good overall accommodation let down by misrepresentation and tightfistedness by owners.
Pros:

General location was good in a discrete rural setting

Cons:

Incorrectly described as beachfront when it was an 11 minute walk. Hot tub advertised but broken. Advertised as having a mobile home when it is a caravan. Overall misrepresentation. Worst of all it was cash only unlike any other Booking.com property. Meaning we had to do a 50 mile round trip back to Greymouth to get cash.
