Olwyn has a nice home in Orewa and everything is as shown in the photos, however my issues with my stay were not with the home, but with the host. Olwyn was far from hospitable and even threatened to kick us out on one occasion. It was the night after my friends 21st birthday, we had come home late the night before and Olwyn claimed that we had disturbed her. She went further to state “I have been putting up with you for 6 weeks”, and that telling us if we are not quiet after 9pm she will kick us out. At the time, Olwyn’s House Rules had no quiet time listed. I have no complaints about Olwyn’s home, however I would recommend finding somewhere else to stay if you plan to visit the area.
