Excellent location, beautiful house, convenient to transport, actually has a water view in Waterview, lush garden, generous private and shared spaces, pleasantly chirping birds, peace, quiet, and laying chickens; all with an easy-going, warm and friendly feel in the house. Great conversation and company included if you want to take on the role of an engaged and friendly guest. You can learn much about NZ, her people, her politics, and her art(s) and culture from Nic and her family and friends. You will miss out big time if you choose to stay elsewhere!
