Rude grumpy greeting

3.0

Comfortable and everything needed was there.

− I had driven eight hours from Gisborne to Otaki forks and arrived missing the parking sign on the front of barn. Woman drove up beside me where I parked and the welcome was a very rude greeting. " you cant park there, didnt you read the sign" then running off and disappearing....Grumpy and unhelpful, on arrival. I am a paraplegic and couldn't get in, and it became apparent at any help was a hassle. She did come and let me in when I eventually found her. Never saw her again. Would not stay here again.

I had booked the night due to the roads north of otaki being blocked all day. It was an unfundable booking. The cottage looked beautiful and I will definitely stay there in the future. When the road opened I approached Judith asking if she could please cancel without a,fee due the circumstances. This was very important to me as my mother is in a resthome in Levin. and is unwell. Judith kindly agreed to do this. And I am very grateful at her kindness and understanding. Thank you so much Judith.

Waiora La Grange Cottage is a lovely quiet retreat, but some facilities were below expectations.

8.0

We loved the location and character of the unit. Very quiet and close to Otaki Forks.

− WIFI connection was very poor. LED lighting was very bright and white. A few additional softer light stands could make the place much more cosy. Limited cooking facilities and small pot sizes.
