Sue and John welcomed us as soon as they returned home on our first day - after kindly letting us arrive early from our flight from Los Angeles.
They provided us with all the information we needed and more, helping us to plan some of our future time in NZ.
We were asked to join them for a drink on our first evening too - which was very pleasant.
The studio was a great base, and was spacious enough for us to spend time there catching up on things and getting some R&R after a long time spent on the road.
They also provided everything we needed in the studio, even having some food staples so we could cook etc.
We had a great 6 nights there and felt ready to face 2 months travelling from North to South.
Good access to Auckland, a good shopping centre at Mairangi Bay, and ferries from Devanport.
