“You kiwis are demanding”
What a night…
Through the good, the bad and the downright ugly. Great space just what we needed. A bed, 4 walls a bathroom but no tv remote. (Which we would be later accused of stealing but I’ll get to that)
Blinds were pretty dusty and mould on the roof above the shower is all we realy noticed which we could live with
Basically we arrived for check in around 4pm keen to get ready for the night ahead and noticed no remote for the tv to get some background noise going.
I called the office that’s not located on site and left a message as due to covid the have limited hours, assuming the would be there untill atleast 5 I tried a couple more times to see if there was a specific place the remote may be. No biggie if it wasn’t there, atleast they would know it’s not there for the people after us.
Fast forward through the night 10:30pm my friend staying with me stupidly called the number marked for emergency only about the remote after I asked her not to due to the time of night. I wish I’d recorded the conversation that unfolded between to two of them. We were told that “us kiwis are what make hospitality unbearable with how demanding we are” “you guys have probably taken the remote” a bit of chat about how we have messed up their business over covid and other personaly demeaning comments.
When asked what the man’s name was he replied with my friends name 3 times after he’d answered the phone with his original name.
I’m not sure if Nik was drunk or what was going on but a simple “it’s late we have noted the issue and will deal with it in the morning good bye” would have sufficed. I will admit the fault in our end and apologise on behalf of my friend for calling so late but what unfolded afterwards was no short of disgusting behaviour.
So please if you stay here be aware that there may be no tv remote. And if there’s not I guess deal with it because the office won’t answer anyway. The place was pretty full and didn’t look affected by covid so I don’t see why the office is closed so early on a Thursday night
Otherwise it was an okay stay. Wouldn’t stay again not that we would be welcome 😂
