I gifted my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson a holiday in the Catlins. They had come from the North Island.
There is no wifi or cellular access for our phones at this property. I didn’t know when they had arrived or how their trip had been. So I walked up from where we were staying and saw the host’s car outside. I thought I would introduce myself as the person who booked and paid for the house and also the person he had communicated with.
When the host saw me, he immediately said “No visitors allowed”. I pleaded with him to be be able to talk to them for a short time. He was so so rude. I have never experienced a host like it. As I left I saw he had sat in his car outside the house waiting for me to leave.
