This accommodation is in a spectacular location on the Otago Peninsula. The A-Frame style of the house, which fascinated me growing up as a child, added a novel excitement to stating there, but bear in mind that one bathroom for six adults took some coordination. However, while the view impressed me, the hosts disappointed. On top of the $159 per night basin rate, there is a $32 per person fee after the first couple. Fair enough. And so we booked three months before arrival. And two weeks before arrival, Graham contacted us to say that he was happy to provide linen at $12 per person rental. I wrote back to say that having paid him over $1000 for three nights, I was not going to pay for something that is a basic requirement of a host. I was told that the Internet would be on when I arrived but the house manual said that there was none and we had to go to a cafe about a kilometre away to log on. Difficult when two of us were working while travelling. But whe. I later looked at his lisitng, it said that Internet was a provided facility. Graham said that the Internet was on, but the modem was in a cupboard not pointed out to us, that it reuqired a cable and so was useless for tablets and iPads - and that if we had wanted to use it, there was an additional fee. If a facility is listed, it should be provided as part of the cost of the deal. Both of these aspects really changed the whole tone of the holiday. Rather than feeling like someone opening their home to strangers - the way my other experiences have been as a guest - this felt like nothing more than a commercial venture aimed at getting as much money from people as possible. What should have been a great trip to my home town with my parter and overseas guests just felt exploitative.
