Like others, I would say the view is amazing. However, I felt like I was in a house, not a home, and not an Airbnb. The hospitality was missing -- it was the only place in NZ where there was NOTHING in the kitchen to eat -- no tea, no milk, nothing. Not a bar of soap to be found in the bathroom. And, as someone said, there were a lot of instructions/orders that felt overbearing. The internet was a real problem and the solution to get a 'card' from some hotel somewhere was not a solution. I felt like I was paying a lot of money for this location and wondered why there could not be some investment in providing a good internet service. There was not even a phone for local calls.I was not able to investigate restaurants, activities nor communicate with my family easily….and was very unhappy about that (can you tell?) I don't know if the blurb about 'don't contact us about internet' was in the description when I signed up, but it has a tone to it that underlies the whole feeling of the place, which left me cold. Sorry, but I cannot recommend this house for anything but the view.
