John has a laid back approach which means there are few instructions and rules but also a few things missing too.
You are certainly staying in a very lived in home.
One thing that affected our stay was we had a spa bath but there were a number of us staying and had showers too. As a result the hot water ran out for the day. Apparently it only happened with us so it may be because we used a lot of water. However the spa bath does require a lot of water so just something to be aware of. The water heats up at night so it was all good the next day.
Despite a few things that weren’t quite on a par with some of the places we stayed with Airbnb on our NZ tour this still scored 5 out of 5 because of the quite stunning view and location. A nice bbq meant that evenings were a phenomenal experience.
