Murray and Jo were the best hosts we've had in NZ by far. Jo is sweetly chatty and so very welcoming. Anything we wanted to do Jo and Murray went out of their way to help us accomplish that. They were staying in a house next door to our cottage. We had privacy but at the same time if we needed anything they had an open door.

You can control the heat in the cottage which was wonderful and kept us warm in September. The neighborhood is very safe, one block to the grocery store and many shops, cafe's, bike shops, etc.
