Pauline was very friendly and checking in with her was very easy. The location was brilliant as it was right next to the lake and had a wonderful little beach that we spent a while at and returned at night to look at the stars. The house was very cute and the water and milk provided by pauline was much appreciated (especially since we couldn't get ourselves to drink the tap water because of the sulpher smell).
We did feel that the room was a little bit dirt, specifically the living/dining are. We also thought it was strange asking us to take the rubbish with us. Perhaps we could've been asked to take it to an outdoor garbage area instead of taking it with us?
We also thought, compared to all our other AirBnB stays in New Zealand, that this listing was a bit overpriced for the size, cleanliness and location.
