I had a great stay at Carlas place, she gave useful information on things to do around the city. She also helped my father and I plan our route around the south island. She provided coffee and tea and even woke up early one morning before our flight and offered us breakfast! There is a wonderful view and a hammock in the back, both which seal the deal for my choice of accommodation. It is ideal if you have your own vehicle if staying at Carla’s, we did so there were no problems! The location is out of the centre city but still in a convenient and quiet place! I would definitely stay here again.
