Our stay here was very disappointing -- the single worst experience I have had on Airbnb in probably a couple of dozen different stays in NZ and abroad. We paid over $400 per night, which was a relatively high rate. The house is dated and tired but the photos make it look relatively attractive. Unfortunately unlike buying/renting a house you don't have the benefit of a physical inspection before committing to purchase. In reality it is a 1970s/1980s feel with lots of bizarre quirks and minimal money/effort spent on modernizing the property in the decades between. It felt grubby and unpleasant given how old and worn everything was. It rained and one bedroom leaked, with dirty water dripping by a child's bed. The shower somehow leaked too. There were dead insects everywhere inside despite us keeping all windows closed. The WiFi didn't reach the lounge because the extender had been taken. Multiple lightbulbs didn't work as they hadn't been replaced. There was minimal effort spent to please guests -- coffee was instant and there was no coffee plunger, plus kitchen utensils were minimal and difficult to use as they were low-end cheapies. This reminded me more of a student flat than an Airbnb. In hindsight we wish we stayed somewhere else.
