Falcon's Nest

Described as a guesthouse. I arrived late evening and discovered that they don’t supply shampoo, soap or a hairdryer. These should be basics and it was after 9pm so I couldn’t go and buy shampoo. . Will never stay there again although I visit Cromwell on and off. I wonder how many people have been caught like I was.

Friendly couple, newly built building and very beautiful views from the kitchen/living area but it was very disappointing to get a room with no windows where I felt like in shoe box with no oxygen. Initially I wanted to book the room from the photo advertised on booking platforms and Google with $123/night. I thought I'll have them save to pay 15% commissions and called to book directly with them and I was told that the room is $150+ not $123. We end up to book another room to suit our budget and pay $10 in addition for the towels (the only accommodation that is charging for towels from all the other ones that I have booked for the past 13 years since I'm in NZ. The room that we have booked had NO WINDOWS 😳, and I felt right like in a shoe box with no oxygen. I thought to open the skylight hoping for some fresh air from very high up there but as it was getting cold, the heaters were no working and NO HEATPUMP either, so we end up shutting the skylight and sleep in a shoebox and waking up with a very big headache. I'm really feel sorry to leave this review with our unplesant experience.

This is a new build. It is little more than expensive backpacker accomodation but is marketed as way more. Shared kitchen. Shared toilet and showers. Only bunks in rooms. Owner asked if i had a towel with me. No chair, table or bedside light switch. No windows. Just a dull skylight. Room stunk through lack of fresh air. Can hear everything going on in rest of building despite an assurance in publicity that walls are noise proof. I am here in a cold snap in mid summer and cannot turn on heater. Cannot believe local council has approved this property for this use. If you are here in the daytime it is right next to a car race track.... what else didn't I manage to read in the write up for this accomodation... APPALLING
