We stayed at Nete's and Marucs' place for 1 night as we were stuck in Queenstown. She confirmed availability of the room very promptly which was great. The room was on the bottom floor of a 2 storey house and next to another guest room. The bathroom is used by both rooms. The house is very tidy and you have access to the lounge and dining area but kitchen use is excluded (though there is a guest fridge in the kitchen which is great and there is also a hot water jug, cups, glasses, tea, and coffee in the room). The house and guests were quiet when we were there. I can imagine it can be noisy if guest or the hosts moved around a lot - just the nature of the house. The location is great and you can walk into town. Close to a supermarket and also the bus station (which we used). Would stay at Nete's again for a short stay.
