Abel Tasman Kaiteriteri B & B

This property does not reflect the description provided. There is no indication that you are sharing a narrow basement hallway with potentially 6 or 7 other guests, having to cross this area to reach a bathroom whilst guests eat breakfast. This narrow basement hallway is also the living/dining space with a kitchen inside a cupboard thrown in. Bedrooms and bathrooms were generally clean and tidy but some mould was visible in the shower. The main issue is that it is communal and this lack of disclosure is something the owners need to address in their advertising.

No clear signage or decent instructions. Property itself is left unlocked so limited security (only into your room). Apparently my room had its own washing machine and seating area (it didn’t). Rooms in basement and you could hear owners dog scratching around upstairs thru night. When I arrived mid evening I asked about eating options - and was assured there were two only to discover 1 closes at 5pm the other was limited to pizzas and closed at 9pm. Therefore poor local knowledge. Breakfast was in the basement hallway - help yourself to cereal and some toast but you’re expected to do your own dishes. Two rooms had a shared bathroom so awkward moments eating breakfast whilst they walked to-from the bathroom. Price I paid certainly didn’t reflect expectations. Would not recommend.
