A very nice place to stay and John is very friendly and helpful in every way. The house is very central, just minutes to the supermarket and a few minutes longer to the main centre and beach.
The room was very clean and the bed was nice and comfy. We used the kitchen and found everything we needed. This and the bathroom were all nice and clean in every way.
Overall, we stayed a week at John's place and enjoyed it very much. We'll be back again when we next get to NZ.
