Disappointing

My sincere hope is the owners of the property see this. The place is absolutely incredible and provide ample space and all the necessary luxuries. The disappointing part is the professionalism and extremely poor communication from the property management group. The place as its states accommodates 10 people and we were a family of 4 traveling back from the USA to spend some time in NZ. Two days prior to the arrival I messaged the property management company to let them know i would be adding two people to the booking. I received a response on the day of check in that there would be an additional charge of $68 per person / night. After paying a premium for a very large place I did not expect this however I paid the extra amount. I then notified the property management that the folks we were expecting did not turn up. In hindsight we probably did not need to state that we were expecting additional guests however thought this to be the right thing to do and I would expect the same. What I did not expect after notifying the property management company was the flippant, rude responses I received (only received a response after stating i would leave negative feedback with all the facts and messages). After notifying them that the guests did not turn up they simply ignored my questions about the refund for the additional amount I paid and eventually said they simply treated it as a cancelation (yet we were in the place and paying on top of the high seasonal amount). Not the customer service one would expect to be associated with such a gorgeous place.
