Would not recommend booking this property if you are planning on traversing hooker valley track as instead of 27km away from this property as stated on their website it is a 6 hr drive as you need to go around the mountain. Property does not take the phone and neither answers emails.

Jan, sammamish

I needed a heart stent put in and management would not let me try another date. Expedia tried to help and could not. I just needed a few days. I am here in NZ now and out of 14 air bnbs and motels and hotels this was the only place that refused to help me.

If I could give zero stars I would. Bedding stained & smelled dirty & unwashed. Shower inexplicably ran scalding hot then icy cold. Paper thin walls where you can hear E.V.E.R.T.H.I.N.G. You get what you pay for and this is a lesson learned for us. A definite never again.

A little tired

I think we were the only ones who were staying there, after we checked in at 4pm they closed reception, and we never saw anyone again all evening or night (it was kind of spooky!). The room was ok, a few cobwebs and shower a bit tired, but ok for the price.
