Staying with Sue felt almost like visiting family. She is happy to give advice, share her knowlegde and have great conversations. Her place is very pretty and tidy and clean. You even get your own bathroom. the location, while being a bit outside of Whangarei, is beautiful and busses run very conveniently. The bus stop is only 2mins walk away. Since I arrived on a sunday when the busses don't run, Sue offered to pick me up. It is a great place to stay and I would definitely stay here again.
