Mill Cove accommodation from NZ$98

Booked on hotel.com and paid in advance. Arrived and was told there was an extra cost for having my caged pet stay in the room with me (he is a bunny and stayed in the crate the entire night. Parking lot not plowed, very icy walk way up to room which I almost slipped on. Noisey neighbors / thin walls, most guests lived here full time by the looks of it. Hot water in shower + tap took forever to heat up or turn on, toilet was barely attached to the floor. No sheet on any of the 3 beds , room and bathroom were freezing cold. Cable on tv was out, barely any toilet paper left in room and no refill roll. Had to take a comforter off a 2nd bed to use with the first one I had to stay warm enough , both smelled like they had not be washed in ages. Icing on the cake was being told I might be charged extra if I plugged too many things in during my stay when a small space heater had to be plugged in the whole night to keep the room warm enough as it was. Driveway still wasn’t plowed in the morning , almost got stuck trying to leave. Was almost $100/night, not worth that in the slightest + will not be returning

My wife and I stayed at Jenn's place for a week while enjoying the Sussex area and surrounds. We also enjoyed the Sussex Balloon Fest. while there. The place is wonderful!!! She provided all kinds of cooking basics such as oils, vinegars, spices, etc. We only used 1 out of 3 bedrooms but the bed was comfortable. I really enjoyed the vibe of the home and felt like I could live there myself. Wif worked great. We enjoyed the back deck with barbecue and she has provided many thoughtful touches. She provided use of the kayaks and SUP boards which is just a short walk to the water from their place. Also fun was a freesbie golf cage right in their backyard to play as well. It was a really nice stay!

A very enjoyable experience. Gracious hosts, nicely appointed room and tasty breakfast. Just as a true B&B should be. And lest we forget Maerie the cat!
