Beachside Bliss - Redcliffs

Redcliffs Positive: Location was excellent Negative: The shades don’t go all the way up in the master bedroom.

Lovely venue spoilt by annoying check in Positive: Th property was lovely with all the modern conveniences, close to the beach and some shops and lovely scenery. It was spacious and very clean. It had a beautiful view and fit our 5 adults easily. Great coffee shop around the corner. Negative: The online check in process was onerous right down to having to do a facial recognition scan and invasive details about my life for security. Despite the fact that all money had been prepaid. I am a Genius Level 3 member with Booking.com and was informed that they didn't have this information. However it is easily available to check. I stayed in 6 other properties in New Zealand during my trip and was welcomed every time with a friendly smile and zero security checks. There were lots of reasons given when I complained about the difficulty of completing all these checks while driving, including needing information in case of police or rescue! I will choose to stay in more relaxed venues in future.

Our team of three from the UK had an exceptional stay. They couldn’t stop praising the cleanliness and comfort of the accommodation, along with the stunning views of the bay. Watching the sunrise each morning was a highlight. They enjoyed it so much that they didn’t want to leave and have already asked me to book the same place for their next work trip.
