Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Susan B. 15 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Stay at Balgownie The property was lovely and met our needs.We were unaware host didn't meet us at check-in but sent msg that didn't show on email but required getting a code that took several minutes to appear on Ipad for us to get into the Stayz message. On home PC messages just appear; in NZ we needed code. There were no instructions on how to use TV, or find switch for outdoor lights when dark. The day after we returned home found 3 day old email from host requesting we feed the fish. Not seen so not done. ##### Susan B.
