The owner responded:

Thank you for your comments. We are surprised at the feedback about the kitchen, it's the first time in 50 rentals we've heard any comments about this.Short of having wall to wall appliances, I'm not sure what else we could resonably provide in a holiday home. Everything is there for cooking, via 2 ovens, microwave, an outdoor BBQ - from casual outdoor entertaining through to a full blown roast dinner. A delivery of additional serving dishes, new saucepans and fry pans etc..and other kitchen equipment has just been made to the house in response to your general comment, although it's difficult to know what was actually 'not as well equipped as we'd expected' - but I've now provided extras of all the stuff that's already there. Additional quilt blankets have also been purchased to go on the ends of beds. Surprising perhaps in January, that normal bedding wasn't 'adequate'. Of course, there was also plenty of spare bedding, lovely goose-down quilts etc.. in the studio which could have been used in the main house - just a 10m bridge walk from the laundry, so not difficult to bring in a blanket or two if it had been required. Regarding the water conservation issues. We ask that people don't divebomb in the pool. This tends to send large waves of water over the infinity edge and exacerbate evaporation markedly. There's lots of other fun you can have without doing giant divebombs I'd hope! Water issues on Waiheke are a constant issue and with a pool of this size in such an exposed clifftop position, we ask our guests to be mindful of keeping the thermal cover on when the pool's not in use. Not unreasonable, given that evaporation in peak summer can cost more than $1,000 in water deliveries within a fortnight. Likewise with baths. There are 3 great showers in the house and studio. With a full house of 10, which is usually the case with this property, having baths would certainly impact on the water tanks rapidly - especially throughout the summer months. We put baths in the house before living there and fully understanding the reality of the water issues on the island. Most Waiheke properties don't have baths for exactly this reason. If people want to bath babies and young children, of course that's fine. But we just ask adults to use the showers - it's not a biggie.
