I highly recommend a stay with Jan and Mark. They were welcoming, gracious hosts who provided a lot of support for this whirlwind NZ tourist. I had very few days so I packed a lot into them. That meant little time spent with Jan and Mark, but I really enjoyed the time I did. The room I stayed in was perfect - clean, comfortable and private. The neighborhood was quiet and the bus to the city (15-min ride), picks you up at the end of their driveway. This was my first Airbnb experience where I rented a room rather than an entire house; I was not disappointed.
