Well Mrs Insanity and I decided to have a nice get away for our wedding anniversary and went to Christchurch. All was going well UNTIL we went to check into the bed and breakfast we had booked (and prepaid via travel bug) Very nice place, nice suburb, great reviews and everything BUT the place was as empty as the Marie Celeste.
Thought OK maybe they just popped out so we waited for half an hour, then thought OK we'll go for a drive over the port hills and grab a coffee. Two hours later returned and still no one. OK dinner time now, feeling a little stressy so we drove over to Riccarton to good ol Argy Bargy (Best curry EVER!) tried to phone them right up till 7pm. By this stage my lovely lady looked about ready to kill. They had no answer phone, no cell phone number or anything. So we got a nice motel in Riccarton and settled in.
Have been trying to contact the B&B operator for two weeks now, have emailed, called, sent friends around and all. They have both our Cell numbers, my work number, both our email addresses and our home telephone but no attempt to contact us.
Beware The Tree House Bed and Breakfast in Cashmere http://www.travelbug.co.nz/visit/24752 . Have emailed travel bug regarding this and have yet to hear back from them either so its name and shame till someone gets back to me. To all my biker brethren avoid, aviod, avoid. Also does anyone know the opperator of this place or how I can talk to a person at travel bug? I'm at my complete wits end. Its only a couple of hundred bucks but its the principle. If they had an issue they could have contacted me by now. They almost completely ruined our get away.
