I think this was the best airbnb experience we had so far. From the beginning until the end we were treated like we were part of Nicola's and John's family - they are so welcoming and warm-hearted like no one before.
We really enjoyed being together with them and having a chat. Also when they had some guests at their house, we were more than welcome to join. I think I can say that it was more like a homestay than an airbnb expercience which we very much enjoyed.
Invercargill is also a good place from where you could start several trips. Nicola and John could also give you tons of advice if you do not know what to do.
The house is just wonderful. It has all you need: a super equipped kitchen, a breathtaking bathroom and a heated room.
We will definitely come back!
