It was great to stay with Thomas and his family. It was just after Christmas and they welcomed us very warmly! We had good chats with him, his children and another host staying there at the same time.
We could use the kitchen as we wanted and were really happy to do so. The elder son gave us some tips for Wellington, our next stop.
The room was nice and clean. It is not too far from the city centre (20min walking time) and in a very nice, quite and green area.
