Great house and location, host communication was offensive.
The house is nicely situated, with views to the sea on the horizon, a short walk connecting to Truman track to an amazing beach. Also a pair of cute Kereru pigeons visited daily. We stayed in late autumn and the upstairs main area is warm with heat pump and fire, but the bedrooms were particularly cold, we used a single space heater which we brought into our room from downstairs but groups using all 3 bedrooms may need more heaters in colder months.
Sharon wrote us a blunt email asking we “explain ourselves” after she found we used 2 of the 3 bedrooms and both bathrooms. We travel globally over half my year using short and medium term holiday accomodation and hotel stays, never have we found communication from a host this offensive; this left a sour taste for us after an otherwise pleasant 9 day stay.
