Tian's place was an amazing start for our time in NZ, his family welcomed us in their beautiful house so warmly that we felt at home right away. Our room was perfectly clean, bright and comfortable as well as the rest of their house which is spotless. We were allowed to use their big and well equipped kitchen and it was always fun to be around Tian's parents there. This place is situated about 7 km from CBD but there is a bus stop right in front of their house, so that wasn't a problem at all plus you can really enjoy the calm neighborhood with One Tree Hill just around the corner. Tian is an amazing and dynamic host, always down for a nice chat and making sure you have everything you need and whenever he's not there, his parents will take great care of you. Would highly recommend this place, it really is a home away from home where you get good value for your money.
