1 Very rude hosts
Called to ask about accommodation and was meet with a rude host who said if I wasnt from overseas we couldnt stay. Very disappointed and this sort of reaction especially since we are not rough or dishonest -- in fact we always leave any places we gave stayed immaculate and tidy! Shouldnt be operating a business in NZ if he has such bad feeling toward the people who live here.
