House was clean and tidy and the space was great with two living rooms and plenty of safe area for the kids to play. We would stay again for sure if going back to Waipu. Only recommendations would be the low coffee table in the main lounge needs to shift it’s not safe for families with young children. Also if face cloths or flannels aren’t going to be supplied this should be advised as we would’ve taken our own. We thought it was a bit odd they weren’t. ##### Troy S.
