This host is so friendly and accommodating and we spent an enjoyable evening talking with her - purely by chance as her visit out was cancelled. She shared some local wine with us. Very accommodating and she gave us some really useful advice as to what to visit n the area. We took her advice and we’re not disappointed at all.
The only downside was that since we had booked ( and we thought that we were the only guest as had requested through the app in the search - a private bathroom; the host had booked in other young guests for the unit at the end of the corridor ( 6 people) and also 2 people in the bedroom next to us. Sadly we all had to share the same toilet and same bathroom.
The other guests were very noisy until 23.00 when t quietened down but were up at 04.30 watching football and talking on their mobiles in the main lounge next to our bedroom. Sadly our host was not staying on site for this weekend so did not hear or see any of the problems.
Finally, Covid is still around and a new variant reached New Zealand that week. It was not acceptable to have to share a bathroom with so many other people - we were never informed of this - only in a text message that the accommodation would be full but not that we would have to share toilet and bathroom facilities with other guests - when we had already arrived NZ and could not change our plans.
If the problems above had not happened we would recommend staying here . The host is a lovely person and was most apologetic when we contacted her after our final night. The accommodation is quirky and interesting and facilities were fine apart from toilet and bathroom facilities.
