'The Breezy Maple', Hinterland and range views in Mapleton

Hinterland getaway Positive: Great bedrooms and lovely bathrooms. Well appointed kitchen. Laundry. Huge dining table. Great wraparound laundry. Negative: Stairs not so good for older people with walking issues. Road noise during the day. Steep driveway.

A Great short stay at the Breezy Maple Positive: The Breezy Maple has four bedrooms, 3 with king size beds and one with 4 bunks. The beds are comfortable with ample pillows, fresh crisp sheets and dunas. The block out curtains, Airconditioning and fans make the rooms very easy to set the right temperature and ambience. The lounge has a free standing convection fireplace which we used and very much enjoyed. The kitchen was well stocked with glassware, crockery and cutlery. Our time at the Breezy Maple was during a very wet weekend so we spent much of our time together chatting, eating and playing games. The balcony area is well set up for social times. We found a great pizza place called The Local and had a fabulous dinner at the Mapleton Public House and High Tea at Flaxton Gardens. It's such a beautiful area. Negative: No firewood or materials are provided to start the fire or for the firepit which is a feature of the house advertising. Nor is this or where to get these supplies communicated to customers. The beautiful outdoor bath, also an attraction in the house advertising was not cleaned prior to our entry which we rectified but it was unexpected and disappointing. Due to the weather conditions we were not able to make use of it or the well kept grounds. It rained the entire 3 days and this meant it was very wet and muddy to get to the bins. A useful large bin is provided in the kitchen but without bin bags that fitted it... Very inconvenient. There are two knives in the block, neither appropriate for preparing meals for 8 people. Both bathrooms were spacious, modern and clean but providing fiddly little hotel room bottles and soaps is messy and might be more usefully changed to refillable wall mounted containers. There is no BBQ so cooking is all in the kitchen. I do understand that a BBQ adds to the cleaning costs. The bedside tables and lamps are not compatible with the height of the beds. It is not possible to turn out the bedside light without getting out of bed. We had the experience of a pillow falling off the bed in the middle of the night and hitting the lamp off the low bedside table, breaking the lamp. I expect to replace the lamp but expect that this may also happen quite regularly. I am sure that you are already aware of the parking issues. Offering one car parking for 6.+adults and providing no options is not reasonable. Access to the double garage. would be an improvement.

Everything was amazing!

Great location, amazing views - perfect getaway. Positive: The location was perfect, great views to the ocean, and the house itself was ideal for a weekend getaway. It had everything you'd need. Negative: Some lamps and curtains in the living room would have made it feel more cosy (and keep the heat in) but it didn't detract from the overall experience, I would still absolutely recommend the property,

Loved it! Positive: Everything was amazing. The house was so well looked after, clean, the beds were comfortable, bathrooms were great & the view was beautiful. We plan on doing our girls trip here again next year.
