Our stay in Kaiwharawhara was somewhat hit and miss. The place was incredibly spacious with lots of light, and located right on the edge of the city. The shower was a highlight. The hosts were also very flexible with allowing us to change our booking at last minute.
Unfortunately though, for us the joy ends there. The hardwood floors had not been cleaned properly, and were dirty enough for our feet to turn black. The throws on the beds had cat or dog hair embedded in them, giving my daughter and I a nasty allergic reaction. One of the bedrooms has no cover over the skylight, the light restricting the hours the bedroom can be slept in. The most frustrating part though was the lack of ventilation particularly in the bedrooms, with a totally inadequate set up for cooling the place down, so we were uncomfortably warm most nights.
