We stayed at John‘s apartment for two nights after arriving in New Zealand. It was the perfect place to recover from the jetlag as it was very cozy and directly felt like home. It was also really close to shops, restaurants and to Lake Pupuke and the beach. A big thank you to John as he was such a friendly and supportive host who did not leave any wishes open and even offered to take us to our campervan pick-up meeting point with his car! We would definitely stay here again! :-)
