Hayley was so nice, she is the most nice hostess I ever met.She prepared everything for us,milk,coffee,jam, and so on.Their bathroom was very comfortable. I very like their plates, very special and beautiful, and the town was very quiet, house just near by a supermarket , so convenient , and there are many farms in the town,if ur trip is not that rush,u can stay there for days.And this house has a long history,I think there are also many stories in there. Really a terrific Homestay experience. Highly recommend.if I go to New Zealand again, no doubt I will go her house again, of course if their house's available. :)
