Pros: close to the city center and with a nearby a city bus stop, clean and warm room, friendly and helpful host, awesome views of Lake Wakatipu from the lounge. Wins is very nice, and will even drive you to town or the airport for a fee (this was helpful for me when I was catching an early-hours bus connection to Milford Sound). Cons: I didn't expect this listing to be hosting as many guests as it did! There were three rooms for guests in this house (which I did not know about when making the booking), and during my stay there were two couples staying on opposite sides of my room. The walls between the rooms were paper-thin (because this was a private home, not an inn) and I struggled to fall asleep because I could hear everything going on in the next rooms! We were five guests in total staying at his house, sharing one toilet and bath. This was a struggle for me and I'm sure it was for the other guests as well. Would've been ok if I knew earlier.
