It was  a hot day, we put our drinks in the fridges to subsequently find the fridges were not turned on. One fridge had to be actually pulled out into the room to turn it on (or off for sleeping because it was noisy).
There was no milk but fortunately we had brought our own, (the landlady did offer her husband to go to the supermarket to fetch some for breakfast, so that would have been okay eventually).
A plumber had been working in one of the bathrooms and I had to clean the basin, black greasy tap, floor, (of plaster debris) and shoe prints off the shower.It looked like the plumber had used the hand towel. It wasn't really bad but I had by now regretted our choice of accommodation and the general lack of cleanliness was starting to show, eg dust and dirty cushions and comforter on the bed.
We were not offered the use of a lounge and only had our rooms to sit in. One room was upstairs, one downstairs. The downstairs bed had comfort issues with the electic blanket wires feelable through the sheet. To comply with the landlady's request to turn off the stair light, where the switch was only findable at the top of the stairs, I would have had to walk down the stairs in the dark, (health and safety issue) so I felt badly about not complying and probably making myself unpopular.
I was treated as a big nuisance for asking for the WiFi code and told that I should use my own mobile service. My son did get this sorted.
At breakfast the only fruit was tinned peaches and we were told by the landlady that she had just breakfasted on fresh blueberries.
There was cornflakes and muesli, plain yoghurt, Vogel's toast, poached egg and bacon. I was about to get some jam from our car as no spreads were on the table. It transpired that they were available on request and the half empty jar of jam was brought to the table.
Linens were not professionally washed, and there was no hand sanitiser, unlike at the eleven other establishments that we stayed at on our South Island odyssey, some of which cost less than Oakhampton Lodge.  
We enjoyed walking around the garden which is why the lodge was chosen by us. The landlord was fun to chat with but he left the running of the lodge to his wife.
This certainly wasn't value for money: we paid for two rooms which was good earnings for the landlady, but sadly we were considered an inconvenience.

Had they forgotten that guests were coming?

We stayed here for 3 nights before flying to Singapore from Christchurch, I specifically chose this hotel because it was out of the city, but close enough to drive in, and to all attractions in the area.
Our hosts Angus, Jacki and Raffi the dog, who we’d loved to have kidnapped, made us very welcome and comfortable, fantastic knowledge of the area, they gave up plenty of choices to go and view Attractions.
Very quiet location, set in 4 acres of stunning gardens, lovely big clean room, with views over the garden, excellent comfortable bed and bedding, so a great nights sleep.
Angus cooks a great breakfast, with plenty of cereals first, and if invited will sit and make you laugh with his great sense of humour and stories.
After 3 days, we felt like family, and they always have room with us should they wish to visit.
We would recommend this B&B to anyone who are visiting this area, thank you both for a great stay.

Home from home.

We stayed 1 night in this beautiful home 10 minutes drive from town. The home was very comfortable and relaxed and had all the little touches to make it feel extra special. It is surrounded by magnificent gardens . Breakfast was cooked by Angus, perfect poached eggs and other foods from the region. The hosts Jackie and Angus were so friendly, it was the perfect start to our holiday in New Zealand.
