The housing crisis has popped up somewhere unexpected - on TripAdvisor, the popular travel review website.
Its users are complaining about motels the Government is filling with the homeless.
"Home away from home for WINZ clients," one person wrote.
"Full to overflowing with poor, desperate WINZ clients... We also didn't pay good money to be living amongst them."
Another described one motel as a "horrible place", with tenants smoking P and "music played until 7am".
"AVOID AT ALL COSTS," yet another wrote.
"The manager/owner told us that he could charge anything for those people from WINZ."
Prime Minister Bill English admitted it may affect some visitors.
"They can go to other hotels if they want," he said.
Mangere Budgeting Centre's Darryl Evans says 'motel life' doesn't help the homeless either.
"These have become dumping grounds."
Newshub isn't naming the motels, which are dealing with a surge of homeless.
The Government spent $7.7 million to put the homeless in motels between October and December last year alone.
"If it was a quick fix I'd have no problem, but when you're seeing the same families living in the motels for two, three, four, five months - which is the case - then absolutely that's not acceptable," Mr Evans said.
"Solving their problems is going to take more than a hotel," Mr English said.
A key part of TripAdvisor is that business owners get to respond, with one saying:
"They drank alcohol and made loud noises... Some families stole property from the motel, they put chairs in the swimming pool. Family violence caused the police to come several times. We decided to stop taking Work and Income families because it is not fair to the other guests."
Mr English says in the long run, "we've got to find better places".
"This process is flushing out these families where they've spent a lot of time avoiding authorities," he said.
And new migration figures out on Monday show the pressure on the housing market won't let up any time soon.
In the 12 months to January, more than 128,000 migrants moved to New Zealand - a new record.
In the same period, 57,000 people left, leaving an overall gain of 71,000. It's another record, overtaking the previous record set just one month before.
Visitor arrivals for the year to January were 3.54 million, 11 percent more than last year, and visitor arrivals for January alone were 381,000, also up 11 percent from last year.
