Room for everyone ..comfortable beds for large groups

The location and size of the property are perfect for a school team. We were disappointed with the cleanliness of the property, and certain things didn't work properly. The bbq was listed, but was rusty and had no gas bottle. The washing machine got stuck on the rinse cycle. Plenty of fridge/freezer space but the freezers had mould. Instructions for the oven would be handy.

Great property for large groups. Lots of rooms and beds. Fabulous location suitable for everyone including families

This property was perfect for our sports team!! Handy location to everything. Great space

Have stayed here before and love the amount of space there is. 3 toilets and 3 showers meant no queues. Heat pump was on when we arrived so house was really toasty. Large TV we were able to watch sports on.

We really enjoyed the size and beauty of this old building. Its a bit of a work in progress but still very lovely. Not often you get to stay somewhere so unique. Perfect for a large family gathering. Was perfect for us tho. Kids loved it as so many places for hide and seek - its huge. Maybe not suitable if you have very young children tho as the staircase would be a worry.

House easily accommodated our family of 19 . Functioned well for our birthday weekend away ?. Parks and shops just walking distance as well .

This is a wonderful house for a large group - spacious, well equipped kitchen, comfy beds, great location, good parking. It retains many of the features of an older house - stained glass, beautiful lounge fireplace etc . HOWEVER, our stay was marred by 3 issues. 1) The house was freezing when we arrived (mid-winter in Masterton is cold) and the 2 large heat pumps took 12-18 hours to get the temperature to comfortable (not hot). We felt these heaters should have been on before we arrived. 2)We found only 8 towels ( there were 11 of us). In communicating with the host after our visit she stated there were 29(!!) towels in the linen cupboard. We never found this cupboard. Most Bookabach house put towels on the beds and in bathrooms.3) The door to the pantry had a lock which engaged when door was closed but no key. We rang the host who said there was no key(??) and we would need to get a locksmith. We needed access to the pantry as we has food, and an expensive multi-cooker in there. That visit by locksmith cost us $70.00. This problem needs to be rectified - either remove lock altogether or provide the key. There could have been a child trapped in there. Unfortunately we found the host unhelpful over our concerns.

Most suitable for members of immediate family to attend a reunion of descendants of two brothers who settled in Masterton in early 1900s

Spacious old house full of character/ perfect for our group. The cleanliness let it down somewhat and the bbq was unusable. Great location.

Could have been a bit neater outside to make more inviting. Plenty of towels and blankets as it turned cold
