Thyholm accommodation from NZ$158

Overall we had a wonderful stay at the cottage in Thyholm. The property was easy to access and well equipped, and it is clear that the owners love their place. There was a lot of personal things there like photos, shoes etc, which was a bit quirky. Positive stand outs was the kids' swing and the "secret table", toys/games for the kids accessible to use, lovely fireplace and plenty of space. The patio was nice and provided a good space for evening meals. The dining table with couch was a clever way to save space. Some things were less good: There was no logic to the light switches (many lamps with Phillips hue), but we couldn't figure out how to turn off the outdoors lamps and let the inside lights be on. The fridge door is askew and doesn't close properly, and the heat pump smelled so bad that we couldn't use it. There was no extract fan in the bathroom, and the extract in the kitchen only made noise but no extract. The wood-burning Jacuzzi was empty and there were no chemicals to make it reusable. The fire-pit was broken and unusable. Some things can be improved with minor effort, such as mosquito netting should be installed on the windows. The windows are very difficult to open, possibly due to the humidity, there are a lot of cobwebs that should be cleaned away before renting it out and the patio roof was leaking in some places. Also the instructions were very limited (garbage/recycling etc) and the listing was inaccurate (need to list what is included in the rental)

Great breakfast with homemade quality items. The wifi was sketchy.

This hotel is a little 'gem' and definitely we will stay there again.
