We stayed at Karen's place for 2 nights, either side of a trip out to Milford Sound with 2 children aged 12 and 9. Everything looked brand new and was extremely clean. The lounge room was very comfortable to relax in after long driving days. The kitchen had everything, including food containers, cooking oil and cereal which was great. Having a full laundry set up with dryer was fantastic. It was a quick 5min drive to the local shops. Lawn around the house for kids to play although no fences if you have very young ones. The house did get a bit warm, although not enough to warrant using air con. As with all places we stayed in NZ, there's no fly screens so opening the windows for fresh airs means flies can come in. Check-in and -out was a breeze, very quick communications via Airbnb.
