Perhaps we simply had too high expectations due to the many very good ratings and our previous NZ airbnb experiences. Maybe we just had a lot of bad luck. Unfortunately, our two-day stay in this airbnb was the most disappointing one in our four weeks in New Zealand. Because of their remote location there can be occasional power cuts in the Northlands which we weren‘t aware of when booking the accomodation. We had the doubtful pleasure of a six-hour power cut from 9am to 3pm during which the toilet was unusable (as the waste water is controlled by an electrical mechanism). The hosts suggest the use of public toilets or the garden in this case. We have switched to a cafe in Kaitaia. In combination with the constant fear that the water could run out (then it will take up to two days until the tank is refilled) and based on our experiences with similar other airbnbs (close to the beach, calm surroundings, bnb) we perceived the price (we paid 306 NZD for two nights, airbnb fee included) as unreasonably high. Apart from all the negative stuff, the view, sound of the waves and the hammocks are indeed amazing. To sum up, not a bad airbnb but in our opinion a bit overrated.
