We had an amazing 10 days in this genuine kiwi bach, that has been nicely redecorated, but still retains a few of the original features to remind you of its origins. The space was great for our family of three, and super well located. On a very quiet residential street (and mostly double glazed), but just five minutes walk away from the main drag. And the medical centre, which unfortunately we had reason to frequent. Lots for kids to do, including a wee pump track in town, and three kid friendly mini-mountain bike areas within five minutes drive. Backyard big enough for some family cricket. A few more things than just the 'basics' in the kitchen meant we didn't have to bring lots of groceries with us, which was great. And one of our group declared the coffee from the machine the best home made one she'd had. With the lack of tourists, we were able to get to Milford Sound in 90 minutes, and enjoy it in a nearly crowd free state. Even with 10 days here we did not run out of things to do. If we can, we'd love to come back.
