We stayed at the accomodation for 2 nights, whilst undertaking a course in Northland. The first night was fine and the accomodation is well furnished and in a good location.
We booked specifically as the description stated "no parties" and we expected it to be quiet for our stay. We were disappointed to find that the unit was poorly insulated for sound and did not sleep well due to activities going on upstairs until gone 1:30am.
Since our stay, liaising with the owner directly, we have not found them to be very understanding of our concerns, and would have expected more from a host with accomodation at this proce point.
I assume this is an isolated case as there was no other similar feedback, however we would not choose to stay in this accomodation again as we found it to be not as described. If there is an expectation of "no parties" for guests, we would have expected it to apply to both sides whilst the accomodation is being rented.
