Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We really enjoyed staying at Tawa Retreat. Its modern, cozy, clean, plenty of parking space, well stocked with everything you need & more. Loved the extra little welcoming touches too. We will definitely be back.I guess the only bit of constructive criticism or suggestion we could make would be to put double glazing in the bedroom closest to the road to help muffle some of the road noise. But it certainly wasn't terrible & wouldn't stop us staying again.
