Overall, it was a good experience. The host was very responsive in communication. It is a very cozy place in a convenient location in Bicheno. It was close to the town center, as well as the beaches. We had one very hot day, but the house did not have cool AC. We opened all windows and used all fans, but still could not stand the heat. I suppose this was one of the rare hot days. One thing to note is that the house only provides initial supply of toilet paper. We did not know, ran out of toilet paper and had to wait for the next morning to buy at the store.
