We would absolutely never stay at this property again, nor rent from the property manager Maria (who manages a bunch of local Taupo Bay properties) again.
The batch is very simple (which we knew, and liked about it) but it was so underequipped for 4 people with even basic things, it made the stay uncomfortable. If you want to stay here you will need to take your own large bowls (or keep your fruit in a cardboard box like us...), wine glasses, serving plates, BBQ utensils, sharp knives...etc etc.
The worst thing for us was that one of the beds was broken. We let the host know about this immediately, and nothing was don't to rectify it. One of our friends had to sleep on the floor for the full 5 nights - pretty unacceptable. We were refused a partial refund for this by Maria, and only got this once we asked AirBnB for help!).
A very average experience on all counts!
