Beautiful home, no complaints!

Had the most amazing stay here for the weekend with some friends. Kathy was super lovely, helpful and accommodating to deal with when I needed to make modifications to my booking. The house is gorgeous, great area and ideal for a group trip away to sunny Gisbourne. Just wish we could have had more time to enjoy here and to make the most of all the outdoor activities/games provided at the house. Highly recommend!

The accommodation was extremely clean and tidy. Beds very comfortable. A few lightbulbs needed replacing as did batteries in remotes but otherwise the house is ideal. Very quiet area. Thank you very much??

Excellent house for our large group

The house was excellent for our sports team visiting Gisborne for 3 days and was very well equipped with everything we needed to be self catering - it was exactly as advertised. The house was well presented and easy to keep warm with electric and gas heaters. The kitchen is new and modern with heaps of cutlery, plates, casseroles and appliance - we loved having a pod coffee machine! The five bedrooms (one with an ensuite bathroom) were all large and spacious, and there are several indoor lounge seating areas. There is a large washing machine and dryer, plus an outdoor clothesline in the large back yard. We enjoyed spending time out on the lovely deck and had one of of our meals at the large outdoor table. Communication with Kathy was easy and efficient and entry instructions were clear. We appreciated an early check in when we arrived on a wet rainy day. This is a great house for a large group and we would love to stay again if we are ever back in Gisborne. Thanks Kathy and family.

Relax and unwind

This location and place was perfect for our staff to relax and unwind while working away from our homes to aid the relief and repair the damages of Cyclone Gabrielle. I didn’t stay at the property but my staff had said it was perfect, clean, quiet and spacious. I will definitely come straight back to this place should (it is expected) our business need to return to the area. Ngā mihi, Thank You for having us.

Wedding Occassion

We feel blessed to have had the property as our base for my daughters wedding where she came to prepare herself before the church service. The spacious rooms and outdoor areas gave us the ambience to enjoy the special moments that comes with such a celebration. The well stocked kitchen provided all we needed as well. Only issue was the main oven fan created alot of smoke so we didnt use it but the smaller oven was sufficient. Woukd gladly stsy again.

Excellent Whanau Gathering

It was great to organise this getaway to celebrate our duaghters 40th birthday in Gisborne. The property provided everything we needed, and we were pleasantly surprised at how well stocked the kitchen was with crockery etc. We felt very at home and comfortable. The place has lots of room and the outdoor setting was great as well. I enjoyed taking my three year old granddaughter down to the park, and buying a bag of organges from the neighbours. We'll be back!

Great home for groups

Stayed at The Verandah in Feb 2024 to visit family. Great communication from Kathy. Easy check-in. Lots of room for 8 adults & a baby. Two lounge areas meant we were not on top of each other. Did not use the kitchen to make any meals but it was modern and well equipped. Older style home but that was expected from the photos. Bathrooms were serviceable except for the quirky design in the ensuite with a window over the sink and the mirror to one side. However our stay was very comfortable as beds were great. Cons: House would benefit from a spring clean & good airing, and wardrobes near to be cleared for guests to use.
