We appreciate your feedback and business Barb, however it is a shame that you didn't raise these issues with us in person while here as we could have explained and hopefully made your stay less stressful, although we can't help a storm and strong winds unfortunately. There should be baking paper in the kitchen and there is a key to lock up right next to the door handle, so a quick call could have helped you locate those. No, we don't use sponges due to hygiene, in line with our environmental values we use high quality, Norwex products made from recycled materials. This reduces the chemicals required to clean and decreases drying time. Towels ‘feel’ different to cotton but are highly absorbent, fast drying and long lasting. By only making up beds that will be used by guests we help to keep our rates down and we believe they represent excellent value for money, given our location and the high performance passive house features, this is well explained in our listing descriptions. Composting, off grid systems can be a new and confronting experience for some guests however mostly people come away with a new appreciation for it's simplicity. Yip, we are passionate about recycling and encourage all our guests to participate in that process. We just think it's an awesome thing to do for the planet, rather than a chore that diminishes your departure. Neighbouring the Abel Tasman National Park, we are as accessible as any accomodation provider there is, the track starts just down the road and we can shuttle you right into the centre of the park to explore further. We do our best to provide an enjoyable and restful retreat and certainly believe that in terms of value for money our accommodations are exceptional. Our review rating says it all. Happy travels, Lawrence and Kylie.

Wonderful! Thanks for your words and feedback Nikki, we hope you'll be back again. Love back x

Thanks for staying Anton. The mossies can be more prevalent at certain times of the year. Our suggestion for other guests is to close and spray the rooms with the provided fly spray before bed, and then wait 10 minutes before retiring and keep the insect screens closed for ventilation. Best wishes - Kylie and Lawrence
