Our room was perfect for our needs. Besides the usual, it had an oven which enabled us to prepare proper meals, not just breakfast. The location is good for taking walks in the area. The hosts are nice, friendly people who are very obliging.

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.
