Spectacular views

Pros: Location and views
Cons: More friendly, enough glasses etc for number of people staying, fix broken things in room
Location: Easy to get to train station and shops and Mt Hobson parkland. Very central to everything
Views were spectacular and in fine weather would be a first rate location. However - credit card charged without permission - no hot water to shower first morning and were told that we must have turned off even though switch in obscure place and couldn't be accidentally turned off - unsafe path to accommodation at night (no lighting) and no safety railing near drop very close to loose paving stones

Thank you for choosing to stay on Mount Hobson. Your review is disappointing. You may remember we specifically pointed out the difficult access and rustic steps to the Cottage and gave you the opportunity at time of booking well in advance of your stay dates to cancel (at no cost) well in advance of your arrival date. You decided to continue with your booking for our very special Cottage which is always fully booked and very popular with guests seeking a special stay experience.You were also offered an alternative property with easy access at the same location once you advised us about your out of hours late arrival. You declined this alternative property on Mount Hobson. At your request, a few days prior to arrival, we unfortunately waived our specified maximum number of guests to accommodate your overnight visitors as all local accom was fully booked. You were asked for a nominal extra payment for the two guests and signed our form to agree the charge should be made to your credit card. You were not charged without your permission. You were offered the alternative to pay either cash on arrival or payment by internet banking on arrival which you declined. None of our 6 properties on Mount Hobson can be used as a "party house" There were several damages and breakages for which we have only made a part charge for the damaged bedside lamp and broken item. As per our listing we have a strict "no smoking" policy which was ignored and for which most business owners will automatically charge for clean up. We have not charged for the carpet cleaning due to spilt drinks and traces of smoke smell. Our latest departure time except by prior agreement is 10.00am. You ignored this check out time. Unfortunately the minority 3% of problem guests are more inclined to leave a review.

Access

Pros: The view.
Cons: Access to the complex and some safety features.
Location: Near to train and bus services.
While the view was great access is difficult for older people and the steps up to the top unit were dangerous in the wet and there was no hand rail.

Thank you for leaving a review for Mount Hobson Cottage. It is disappointing we we receive a poor review for this property when we try hard to make sure potential guests know about the difficult access and very steep driveway (refer listing). As this delightful property is very popular with guests (and we are always fully booked) it would be great if we can discourage potential future guests reading your review that don't want difficult access. Please note that our other 5 properties on Mount Hobson don't have the steps and pathway through the garden. The Cottage is not suitable for elderly persons unless they are fit enough to negotiate the steps and stairs from the undercover parking area. Well worth the climb for the seclusion and views in a great location close to Auckland CBD.

Peaceful

Location: 5 min walk to rail station. 10 min walk to Shops . 5 min walk to takeaways. Countdown deliver groceries. Good service if you don't have private car.
A peaceful retreat in the middle of Auckland. Native bush surrounding with birds about. Hosts very approachable and friendly. The cottage at top. Many stair but the view is worth it.

Hi Patricia Thank you for your review for Mount Hobson. We are pleased you enoyed the peaceful setting. The Cottage is one of our six properties on Mount Hobson. The Cottage is sitiuated about 40 metres up steps and a pathway towards the summit of Mount Hobson so a reasonable level of fitness is required. Our other properties have easy access but our driveway is steep.

Thank you for your feedback. We have 6 (all different, at different pricing) options. All have different facilities. You booked a spacious bedroom and private bathroom which is our budget option at "only" $95 per night at peak period !!!!!!!!!!) is probably the best "value for money" accommodation in Auckland. As per the listing for this room, we don't have laundry facilities for short stays. We will be upgrading soon. We can provide access to laundry etc at nominal extra cost.

5 out of 5
Pros: So much room ! And so close to major roads
Cons: Decor a bit dated

Thank you for your review of our Mount Hobson Cedar Apartment. All 5 of our self contained accommodation options are completely different. As per our listing this one is themed "Retro" so "Decor a bit dated" is germane. Try one of our other options for Kiwi Bach, Tiny House or Modern Apartment style...... (Our Rimu Apartment is also "Retro").

5 out of 5
Pros: View was magnificent.
Cons: Bed was too hard for my liking.
Location: Wonderful
Facilities: Distinctive; Value: Affordable; Service: Courteous; Cleanliness: Beautiful;

Thank you for your feedback on our Pukeko Room which is our bedroom with private bathroom at budget pricing. We appreciate your good rating - we are gradually upgrading facilities which is proving to be a challenge as we are usually fully booked.
