We absolutely loved getting to meet Vida, Maureen’s adorable pup. As she notes in the description, there is a shared entryway and shared spaces, so this is different from a true ‘entire space’ Airbnb listing. As seems to be common in NZ, the windows do not have screens so we would recommend shutting the windows well before dusk. We waited a bit too long and had a large number of flies and mosquitoes in the bedroom, but this should be avoidable with better foresight than we had. The bathroom windows are too high for shorter folks to close, which leaves the bathroom quite cold at night/early in the morning, but again this is an easy fix. We struggled to sleep on the very firm mattress. It was far firmer than any we had ever slept on. Not necessarily an issue for many people, but good to know in advance. The mattress also had an electric topper with protruding wires partially covered by a sheepskin topper and large controls uncovered so we removed it and remade the bed. Again, not a problem for many and it could be helpful in colder months. We were unable to park in the driveway as Maureen had visitors a couple of times during our stay and asked that we park on the street instead when we asked if we could park in the driveway. She assured us that the no parking signs where we parked on the street were not a concern, which worked out well. The location is excellent and we really appreciated thoughtful touches like the milk in the fridge.
