I really enjoyed my stay with Alwinn. Even though I arrived for check-in at 03:00 in the morning, they were very accommodating. Just know that you have to pay an 'inconvenience' fee of NZ$10 for check-ins after 22:00, which is understandable. I liked the concept of staying in the house with the family in a separate room. It really worked for me, because I was in NZ on my own and I thus felt less lonely. I can really recommend Alwinns Airbnb and it is real value for money.
