A cabin without a bathroom or kitchen listed for rent in Queenstown this week has been removed from Facebook Marketplace after concerns were raised about it.

The cabin was in the backyard of a Lake Hayes Estate property, and was losted for $250 a week including utilities.

“Furnished. No insulation, but it has a small heater. No bathroom or kitchen,” the listing said.

A Tenancy Services spokesperson said it would be unlawful to rent out the cabin for residential purposes as a standalone proposition, as such rentals needed to have, or have access to, appropriate cooking and bathroom facilities.


But when approached by Stuff the lister, Tommy Fu, said the cabin was not really for rent, and the listing was an experiment.
