Shirley has been the BEST host I have come across during my entire NZ trip! She is warm, she is thoughtful, she is an absolute delight when it comes to being a host :-) Her husband, Kent is also very very nice and goes out of his way to help people. I love that! The rooms were immaculate. The bed I slept in was very comfortable! Overall, an enjoyable stay ... more so because Shirley is a absolute sweetheart of a host! :-)
