Trelawn Place

Beautiful setting. Comfortable. Laundry facilities freely available. Kitchen contained good quality cooking equipment not expected to be found in a holiday home.

No sharp knives for preparing vegetables or slicing bread. Bottom of the toilet bowl was stained. I consider that it is priced too high for the quality of accommodation available which needs updating, but this may be because it was New Year's Eve and accommodation available in the area was in short supply. We stayed in good quality hotels (Novotel and Copthorne) in both Christchurch and Auckland at a substantially lower price. Boats operating in the river disrupt the tranquil peace and quiet.

The location has a fantastic view over the Shotover River with jetboats coming and going. Very peaceful and quiet place, coud hear the river and occassional roar of the jetboats, but not noticeable The owners were very friendly, they came to meet us when we arrived and introduced themselves and their lovely dogs.

The owner explained that the remote control for the heatpump was missing. Therefore, he had to use another one to operate the unit in our cottage and then took it away. Could be cleaner ie kitchen (oily tea/coffee/sugar jar lids and food crumbs behind microwave) and laundry (dust and fluff between the drier and washing machine).
