I've been mulling over how to write this review for several days now. I am travelling with mum, we have been staying in a different place via Air BnB almost every night for the past 10 days. All hosts have been incredibly warm, welcoming and kind and especially the last and the current hosts made me decide to write in length after all. Our experience with Sue was sadly an unpleasant one. The place is clean and tidy, but be aware that even though the system's filter takes you to the listing if you select 2 seperate rooms, this isn't (meant to be) the case. The photos also show a room with a double bed as well as a room with 2 single beds. I especially checked whether Sue might have a seperate listing. She did not. We were shown a room with a double bed and the bathroom accross the hall on arrival. Nothing else. Sue then went off to mow the lawns. The conversation I tried to have, about us having booked her place because we need two rooms went badly and I came away feeling more like a bother, rather than a welcome guest. Yes, the price isn't high, but I put that down to the remote location and basic facilities. There is a place not far away, 700m from beach, self contained, 2 seperate rooms, only 10 bucks more (was already booked). So I didn't think anything off of Sue's place & pricing for 2 rooms in a home with shared kitchen, living and dining. We weren't shown or told anything about breakfast and though our host had said "she'd be around" in the morning and despite knowing what time we'd be having breakfast (8:45am), she was nowhere to be found. Her son turned up, I asked him, he said she'd be in bed. That in itself would not have been an issue, if we would have been told where to find the breakfast things etc the night before. The chance was there. Our host didn't even bother to get up off the couch when we left. It felt very much as though our insistance for the second room (the offer of us leaving, to go elsewhere if that was too much of a bother, was short n sharply declined) had peeved her off so much, there was no need to make an effort for anything else. I am baffled as to how the feedbacks for "great and lovely host" have come about. Maybe it was an off day, who knows. We wouldn't be back, nor would we recommend. It saddens me to think that this might be what foreigners experience as kiwi "hospitality". Christine & Gabi
