A Dunedin man who rented out his home on Airbnb while he went on a two-month holiday was horrified to learn it was allegedly used as a brothel.

The owner, who requested not to be named, said he rented his home to two Chinese nationals in July and August.

He told the Otago Daily Times when he returned the house “felt icky and smelled of cheap perfume.”

A plumber, who visited the house to repair the hot water system while the owner was away, told the ODT the house had been converted into a brothel.

“These girls had come down from Queenstown, traveling the country.

“It was very obvious what was going on,” the plumber said.

The homeowner said he was confronted by a client when he arrived home asking “where are the girls?”

He told the ODT the man became verbally abusive when he said they weren’t there.

A neighbor told the ODT a lot of men who didn’t stay very long visited the house.

“I first noticed the light on at night and we started getting suspicious,” the neighbor said.

Airbnb has been approached for comment by Newshub. A company spokesperson told the ODT they understood the host’s concerns and offered their full support.
