Wow my whole experience here was fantastic. I received a very warm welcome from the host Paulina. She’s lovely and is really easy to chat too. When I arrived she let me know about a carnival that was happening in town that night which I immediately went to. It was great and I’d never have known if she hadn’t said - very thoughtful. The house is really special - full of character, just like the host. Room had everything I could want and was very comfortable and clean. Shared bathroom with bath and shower was excellent. Room had its own balcony too with a lovely view. Location is superb as the town was just a few minutes walk away. Parking was just down the drive - very secure and close. Breakfast in the morning was so good and thoughtfully done. Amazing. I enjoyed every second staying in this beautiful house and meeting its charming owner.

Staff were super friendly and offered me a lot of help, laundry was the cheapest so far I’ve done in New Zealand. The beds, bathroom, kitchen are very clean. Location is good, was in a quiet neighborhood and still close to the city center.
