Nightmare!! Stay clear!! Fireplace not working, dodgy electrics, amenities not restocked - no scrubbing brush, no batteries in remotes, filthy iron and fridge stunk of fish. If you turned the underfloor heating up to high the hot water and plugs didn't work and the power box would short. Clearly this is something that needs to be addressed. The host husband turned up without masks, child in tow in Level 3 lockdown after we complained no hot water and couldn't plugin iron and aggressively made his way into the house and proceeded to shout and complain we had heating turned up too high. Said it had never happened before yet knew exactly why the hot water wasn't working and plugs were shorting. Said house old and electrics not what they should be!! Or adult sons were there as we got stuck in Queenstown, They tried to calm him and turned heating down but pointed out there was no instructions or rules regarding this so were't to know. Only written rules/instructions were that heating should be turned off whenever you leave the house because of big power bills. When I complained to host wife about her husband breaking with protocols and turning up unannounced without mask or sanitiser and insisting on going inside she sent me a message asking us to leave asap. So had to find another house, rebook, pack up and move again and when we said we needed til 2pm to do so instead of usual check out at 10am she insisted we pay for extra night even when explained our son who was ill had to move on his own. I suspect Hosts all nice when things go their way but heaven forbid if you should complain about not having hot water or safe electrics.
Not something you expect for over $2000 a week and our booking was meant to be a month!!
