We understood the location is in country area and country bugs are quite common in New Zealand and we understood they are harmless, but the bug issue was quite horrifying in this house. At one point of time the kitchen was invaded by bugs almost like a scene in horror movie. The house could also improve on its ventilation, it was not a terribly hot day but the house was cooked up by the time we arrived and through the night. The whole house has only one electronic fan. Mattresses were also a lot softer than average... so one could imagine most people in our party did not get a very good night sleep. I would suggest that Ann could consider installing screen door to improve ventilation AND bug issue for the guests. I am not too sure how experience would be like on a cold day. Overall we were not thrilled about this stay.
