Peggies Cottage. Well !!!! First of all this place is a converted garage, it has been cobbled together over the years and apart from the main living area resembles something of a cave. My best guess that this was a granny flat for a teenager or perhaps some where to house your parents, it is simply not suitable for holiday accommodation unless its lack of basic amenities is highlighted in the listings . Whilst it is more spacious than a similar priced motel it lacks many basics that would be deemed basic by most. There is no TV, no radio, no clock. For cooking only a disgusting looking 2 plate portable electric range. However there is an expensive Delonghi electric air fryer, that no one seems to have ever used, There were no basic kitchen utensils like can opener , egg turner although there were adequate plates cups etc. The fridge is a huge masterpiece you could hide 2 dead bodies in if you had to. A complete overkill given a 90 litre bar fridge would suffice. During our stay we could not get the sliding door to lock, the owner could only say and I quote “ no worry, New Zealand very safe “, yeah right. There is no curtain for the front sliding door and window but the tracks are there so who knows where the curtain is, on more than one occasion we caught the neighbours who overlook , peering into our living area. In conclusion I would not stay here again and am disappointed booking sites are now including bits of peoples houses without first checking out the suita

Lovely welcome and very clean
Peggie was very welcoming the property is not a cottage so maybe best being called Peggies Place/ Pad. Very clean property small contained apartment in a very quiet area. It was only a one night stay would of been nice to stay longer. If there would of been other guests staying in room 2 would of been uncomfortable maybe just rent out the place to a couple or family and charge extra if the room 2 was used. But overall a very nice place very clean and well equipped thanks Peggie

Thank you, Martin, don't worry about that if other guests stay here at the same time since we just ONLY serve 1 group, 2 people or 4 people. Welcome back anytime. Btw, I will change the name according to your suggestion. Thank you very much!

Simple, clean accommodation
When we booked it appeared that we had a private bath. We didn’t. Her info now shows a shared bath. Small room, but comfortable. Peggy was very nice and helpful. With a very small shared bath, it would have been helpful to have a mirror in the room. The only trash bin was in the shared kitchen, so one in the bath or our room would have been nice.

Thanks so much for your understanding and suggestion. We will improve accordingly!

Not a cottage
Friendly host, good wifi and comfortable bed but... No signposting to say that you have arrived at the accommodation. If you are under the impression that this is an actual cottage you will be disappointed. This is a basement under a family home with all the noise from above coming through (water noise, thumping from walking etc). Also it is not mentioned in the description that the bathroom is a shared one. It says it is 'partially open', whatever that means. Apart from your lockable bedroom, everything else is shared with the other bedroom. No TV.

Hi, Lewis First of all, thanks for your feedback that I found the information of bathroom on website is incorrect. Already update. In addition, sorry for the noise to disturb you because the sound insulation is not good for this kind of house. We try our best to keep silence but as I already mentioned to you currently I attented an international online course which is started very late due to jet lag.....sorry about that and thanks again for your feedback, we will improve.

Different
Owners live up stairs very noisey when you are wanting to go to sleep (10.30pm) felt we had to be quiet to not desturb them....funny that. Thought milk and sugar was a given when staying in a motel make sure u b.y.o. On website I took 2 guests and up to 1 child ment you can have 2 adults and 1 child, no this means out of the maximum 2 guests 1 can be a child but you would be sharing a bed with your child. Im a huge arachnid phobic (hate spiders) and there was a dead orange spider in the corner on the carpet of our bedroom and loads of cobwebs from daddy long-legs spiders some people may not mind this but defiantly wasn't a positive for me, but on a positive the bed was comfortable and the motel had off street parking but if both rooms were booked there's only a space for one car so first in first served. I would call this more a hostel or b&b (without the breakfast)

Hi, Tessa First of all, thanks for your feedback, it is my negligence about the wrong room information to mislead you. I already ask Expedia team to correct it. Moreover, sorry about the dead spider in the corner, we will clean room more carefully next time. In addition for the noise, the sound insolation is not very good for this kind of house but we try to keep silence, sorry for distrubing you as it was a weekend that our friends left late to 11:00. In general, thanks again for your feedback, we will improve.
