We could never have anticipated how great our stay would be with Lesley and Derek. After travelling Asia for 3 months, arriving at Lesley and Dereks place felt like going home. Lesley and Derek are such a friendly and helpful couple, they are also well travelled which is great for long conversations exchanging travel stories. They have a large spacious, kitchen/living area which is great to relax or mingle with other guests. Other plus points: good wifi, clean communial and bedroom areas and great continential breakfast. We only booked for 3 nights, but stayed for around 10 nights. We will definitely be returning numerous times throughout our travels around New Zealand. We couldnt recommend staying here enough!!
