+ Good location as near to several sites worth visiting. Nestled within a rainforest which was really attractive.

- Exceptionally poor cleanliness. We stayed for 3 days & never witness any staff cleaning neither private rooms nor facilities. All domestic duties performed by volunteers that are remunerated with free accomodation. This does not work as the place is dirty & in desperate need of a thorough clean. Communal areas were never cleaned over the 3 days of our stay, including the kitchen! It is more suited for back-packers, but they would find it dirty too!! It is exceptionally poor value-for-money. Other cottages may have been different, but the Ruru Lodge Double Room with Privater Bathroom was a big mistake for us and did not match the reviews we read from previous guests.

+ Unieke accomodatie en locatie, je deelt een gezamelijk huis.

- Het dak was lek terwijl het stormde, dus toen midden in de nacht mijn buurman opeens met pannen naast mijn bed stond keek ik wel even raar op.
