Jan and her partners place is amazing. The pictures really don't do the place justice! The backyard alone is worth spending a few days of vacation on. The apartment itself is so clean and modern, a really nice place with everything you could need and more. The paintings in there are beautiful as well. We have spent 2 weeks all over the north island and this place by far has been the best one we have stayed at. Jan is very kind and her partner was great. He even jumped into the river with me as I was scared to go alone. Really Was one of the a highlights of our trip in NewZealand. Trust me book this place and stay more than a day if you can, you won't regret it!
