Our stay at this Airbnb was severely dampened by the hosts calling us the day before we arrived to change some of the house rules and inform us that the next door neighbours would be keeping tabs on us/watching us throughout our stay. The hosts made us feel judged, mislead, and uncomfortable before we even arrived. While the house itself was very nice and in a good location by the lake, we were unable to relax and fully enjoy our stay in Taupō in this Airbnb.
