The place was nice, tidy, and clean and Glyn was very nice and welcoming. The room where you stay is in their house, and you share the common spaces with them. It was not a problem for us, but just so you are aware of that. We went to Dunedin in the middle of winter and the house was very cold (except for the living room, which was actually cozy). They did have thermal blankets in all beds, but the rooms were still too cold to hang out. In the morning, Glyn prepared breakfast for us, which was really nice, especially the fresh bread.
