Staying with Judy was a last minute decision and I am beyond grateful to the universe for brining us together! Traveling to New Zealand was my first solo adventure and Judy has made me feel comfortable and at home. She is well traveled and gave me heaps of advice on where to go, in fact she even joined me on part of my journey.
Meeting wonderful people like Judy is what air BnB is all about, I highly recommend her as a friend and a house mate.
Practically speaking, her home is in a central location with a bus stop right outside. There is a cute cafe across the street and the water is not far at all. The room was cozy with amazing afternoon sunlight seeping through the door that opens to her marvelous garden.
If you get the chance, don't miss this beautiful peek into a native New Zealanders home!
