This house was conveniently located for trips to the surrounding areas (Tutukaka, etc) but we didn’t especially enjoy our stay. The house backs right up to the neighbors’ property and they were very loud at all hours of the night and had a incessantly barking dog. While that isn’t the host’s fault, the house was also lacking things I would have expected, including a trash can to put your rubbish bag (which you have to provide yourself) and blinds on the side windows of the window seat in the bedroom, making it difficult to block out the light from the neighbors all night party. Not a great value all things considered.
