We booked this property a couple of days prior to checking in. We
were in a rush and there were not many places left so we neglected
to read the reviews from other guests, and only read the description
on the first page.
We booked for two nights, but, cut our losses for the second night and
moved on to Blenheim earlier than anticipated. We spent very little
time in the accommodation over and above what was necessary in
order to sleep after a long drive. We ate out.
We were not expecting silk sheets, views of Krakatoa erupting, or
herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the planes, but for
$238 per night we had some expectations brought about by past
experiences staying in Airbnbs. (I am new to the app but my partner
has been booking these on her account for years).
Any concerns we had, we addressed directly and privately with the
host. I would recommend reading past reviews, not just for
information on the property, but for responses to any criticism. ​
