We liked the good communication and the effort with hand-written rules, maps and information. As dog lovers, we enjoyed our visit from the resident dog.
We were disappointed that although the listing stated that there were two friendly family members living in the house, our only interaction with them was when they were yelling and swearing at the dog.
The handwritten notes included in the guide to the area about safety at night (advising not to go out and that Turangi is not safe) surely should be published on the Airbnb listing! This made us feel quite unsettled.
Finally, the lock was very hard to lock/unlock.
Overall, there has been a lot of effort put into the accommodation, however I think there needs to be more transparency with guests before they arrive.
