Great family stay
This house managed to fit two families - it's bigger than the photos show. We loved the pool and the central location is good/easy.

Weekend Away
The stay was fine and Jason responded quickly to text messages.
The sheets were lovely. Beds fine. Water pressure in shower was amazing!
We were a little disappointed to find the pool was dirty, the BBQ unusable, and the dishwasher tracks/rollers were broken so hard to fill.
We were a group of 7x 50s - 60s year old friends there for the Mission concert so luckily we brought our own reusable wine glasses for the concert as there were none.
Nice big character home nestled in citrus and avocado trees. We enjoyed sitting outside on patio. Didn't use pool area in end except for one brave soul!
Heaps of space inside. The house was fine for a couple nights.

Nice house in suburban Hastings
We were a mixed group of family aged 11 to 71- we stayed in Hastings over Christmas and enjoyed the backyard pool and the peace and quiet. The house is spacious and the kitchen is well equipped.

Lovely relaxing stay
This house is a gem. On a quiet street but close to everything you need. It’s an older style but incredibly comfortable: nice open spaces, comy couches and impeccably clean. Jason was a great host, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time at his home. The pool was a plus too!

Easter break
This was a good option for us - 4 women playing in a sports tournament. Quiet neighbourhood and plenty of parking. House was clean and spacious. It would work for larger groups and families as well, especially in summer. A bit more info on nearby restaurants / facilities would be helpful, thanks.

Hastings house
Great stay. Comfy beds and a nice spread out house. Rather big which was good for our group. Great location also, quiet neighbourhood.
Only thing on arrival was bins weren't cleaned from prior guests, neither was the toilet but we understand sometimes thing accidentally get missed out so we just did it ourselves.

Amazingly Supportive Host
We used the lovely home to stay in while my daughter has surgery. Because of the unknown circumstances of the stay we were so impressed with the flexibility, support and understanding of the host. We would definitely stay there again.
