About this property

The Comfy Humphrey House

About the space!

A Modern and tasteful home with great open living space providing kitchen, living and dining all in one leading to an amazing covered outdoor area to entertain and relax on those warm nights the Wairarapa so frequently provides.

Incase the weather doesn't go your way we've got you covered! The house is fitted with a heat pump for the colder nights, and air cooler for the hotter ones so no matter what the weather may be, you, your friends and family will be living comfortably.

If walking is your preferred method of moving through greytown during your visit, The famous White Swan Country Hotel and boutique shopping Greytown has become famous for is less than a 15 minute journey away. Even closer still is the cobblestone museum if you wish to take a journey back in time to see how life was lived by the region's colonial settlers.

3 generously sized bedrooms with 2 queen beds and 1 double bed.

Outdoor living area

Modern and stylish furniture. All cutlery and appliances are provided for you to use during your stay.

Worst Vacation rental

This is the worst holiday home we have ever rented, and we have rented holiday homes all over the world over the last 11 years. We had 5 nights/days with 4 adults. The fridge never worked, the TV reception was so bad when it rained or blew, it was unwatchable a lot of the time. The host did not provide respond to us until we had complained to Stayz/VRBO. Only then did she reply to our concerns, and finally gave us wifi details and password on the afternoon of day 4!! but did nothing about the other main issues.Apart from these 3 main issues there were a number of issues arising from a lack of cleaning and a very distinct lack of maintenance, eg lamps that did not work, no rubbish bin in the kitchen or outside, curtains hanging off the curtain rails, roller blind that did not work, no toilet roll holder in bathroom, non working smoke alarm, dirty oven etc. The outside of the house is very dirty and covered in cobwebs, the gardens and lawns are neglected. There is junk in the carport. We asked Stayz/VRBO for a partial refund and they just closed the file and said they would not answer any further enquiries. Don't use Stayz, there are better alternatives available.

There's lots to be said about this property, it's in a great location, walking distance to the high street and lots of trail walks, as well as driving distance to many attractions in the surrounding area. The property itself has so much potential and it just felt like it was a tired property, that just needed a bit more care put into it, to really live up to its potential. On walking in, the surfaces around were all dusty. It wouldn't hurt to go in a property beforehand and just wipe down the surfaces - make it more welcoming for your guests. The fridge was full of leftovers that really needed to be thrown out, most likely from last travellers, but judging by some items, they were left long before. Walking down the hallway to the bedrooms, the hallway door had been pushed too far in the last clearly as the door handle itself made its home inside a hole in the wall. Bedrooms were lovely, plenty of plush pillows and towels provided, a big plus. The living room had nice furnishings too - the tv was dated and in today's age, travellers would expect more than just the standard satellite tv channels - think Netflix, or Sky, something a bit more. The couches themselves were also tired, showing clear signs of wear and tear. The carpet too also had burn marks across it. Wifi wasn't available either initially, but the box was hidden away in a cupboard, presumably trying to prevent travellers from finding and using it. The property has lots of potential it just needs a bit more love

Comfortable Family Home

Good solid property with just about everything you need for a comfortable stay. Two little niggles; no Tea Towels and I certainly would have expected Wi Fi for the price charged

Wings Over Wairarapa

Clean property with clean bedrooms! A big bathroom with heater makes the stay comfortable. We used the heatpump as we had some cold nights and that was quick and easy to use and to heat up the house. Communication was very easy, pleasant and fast.

Lovely home tucked away in Greytown

We had a lovely stay in Greytown. The outdoor area was so cute and the house was a good size. The only downfall is we found about 6-8 cockroaches indoors during our stay. Other than the cockroaches throughout parts of the house, it was a lovely home that was well priced!

Quibbles

The house was as described - we were comfortable. There are a few quibbles. The jug was no longer automatic and had to be turned off at the wall. Ditto the toaster. The lighting was very poor and not fixed since we were there in April. Air Freshener and hand wash were both empty. Bathroom door did not lock. Too many cushions in bedrooms and no where to put them.

Pleasant house on the edge of Greytown

This is a modern house that is pretty well equipped for about 4 people, but can sleep six. It has a wonderful outdoor table with nice seating and a good outdoor heater. A couple of things need fixing, but the heat pump is good, very welcome in this cold winter
