Gunyah is not a hotel with staff in uniforms, bell boys, reception desks etc, etc, it is a B&B. There is no staff as such. We are not quite sure why the category "staff' got a 25%. Would you be able to be specific so that we may address your concerns and also improve for the future?Kind regardsThe Team at Gunyah

Nice Spot but stairs, mice and flies issues.
Posted 2 May 2023 on HotelsSetting and hospitality was lovely, BUT mice running on counter in kitchen and through the ceiling during night kept us up, a lot of flies dive bombed me when trying to sleep, dead flies and mouse droppings to deal with. ALSO the steep stairs with no handrail or fall protection was a big concern and the large drop into the attic bedroom needs a step. Dining was closed as chef was away so don't count on food but kitchen setup was good. Had a nice woodstove for a fire to take the chill off and comfy sitting area.

We are sorry your experience of NZ rural life was not what you expected. Unfortunately you stayed for anight just at the end of harvest in the surrounding paddocks. As you realised, we are in the so-called middle of nowhere, with just fields and fields of grains and grass. To be honest in the 21 years I have lived here, this is the first time a field mouse has entered the place. It was a very hot day, windows and doors open, it can happen- just like flies arriving unexpectedly at this time of year. It is rural life. Of course now there is not a fly in sight.You booked a self-catering house, normally chosen because you want your independence with cooking etc.Dining is always available to guests staying in the self-catering houses if pre booked as the lodge(where you did not stay) is available by reservation only. Had you asked for that when you made the booking the day before, dinner would have been available. The lodge dining room was closed because there were no booking for dinner that night, so no chef. We are pleased however that you found the setting and hospitality great- I enjoyed chatting to you and setting you up in the non-hosted house you booked, and that sitting room and fire were to your liking.

A real find. Wonderful from start to finish. The three course dinner is a must! Breakfast set us up for the whole day. Lovely couple very friendly.

Lovely old homestead in huge grounds. Quiet, tranquil setting. Our hostess was a lovely lady and the dinner and breakfast we had were above average.
