BEWARE: Host has poorly disclosed, concealed cameras operating and will breach your privacy looking for reasons to charge extra. As a result of a change of plans we had one extra person stay for a couple of nights and host tried claiming additional money for four people and more nights based on inappropriate review of footage .
Cutlery, pots and utensils had baked on food and needed to be washed before we could use them. Balustrades and sills hadn’t been cleaned and were covered in spiderwebs. Downstairs was musty and needed airing.
No rubbish bags (or recycling bins) provided and on enquiry host will tell you to take rubbish all the way across Taupo or try and charge you for disposal.
Disappointing as property has potential (and we enjoyed our time there) but let down by aggressive hosting after stay.
