Let me start with the good. David was very nice and very understanding. He even offered a free night. There was a wonderful little restaurant/bakery about 3 minutes away that had the best savory muffins we've ever tasted. Now to the bad. The property was unacceptable. It was dirty, had lots of bugs (dead and alive) and was just plain gross. It was basically what you would picture a dirty family fishing camp. It was not what we would consider an airbnb property. I believe we were charged $220/night -- it should have been no more than $50/night. We contacted David about our concerns when we arrived and he quickly responded and was very apologetic. He refunded our 2nd night and offered for us to stay there free of charge, which we did. We appreciated that because although we had no desire to stay, we had mapped out our journey across NZ and leaving early would've made it difficult. All of us had breathing and allergy problems (even those of us without allergy or breathing issues) from the decades old carpet and mold. Based on the condition, airbnb was willing to consider refunding all of our money but given that David gave us a night free of charge we did not feel right staying 2 nights at no charge. When the tide is high, the view is pretty. When the tide is low, it's ugly and stinks. I would not recommend this property until the renovations are 100% completed and LOTS of pictures are posted on the listing. There was 1 picture when we booked and no further pictures were provided after we requested them (we were told there were none - which we believed). Upon arrival we quickly knew why none were provided. We would not have booked if accurate pictures would have been provided. Again, David was friendly and accommodating but the property is not ready for airbnb.
