Pros: incredible view, the hot tub in the middle of a lush backyard, the shower/bathroom is beautiful, Netflix readily available, and the banana bread is a really nice touch. Having parking in front of the house is key considering the narrow surrounding roads
Cons: this was the most expensive Airbnb we stayed in on the North Island, and we were asked to do the most on checkout of any property. Some of the magic of the view and spacious living room is lost when you’re carrying garbage and recycling down the stairs that are uncomfortable on bare feet; the slippers were appreciated in lieu of wearing shoes in the house (but I think they were mens’ sizes and even too large on my husband), washing and drying the dishes, and putting everything back where we found it. I fluffed the pillows on the couch because I was trying to comply with the rules. The bed was okay; we were a little stiff the next day but everyone is different. The AC didn’t reach the bedroom but the fan helped a little.
