Highly recommended!
We stayed there for a night on the way of the South Island round trip.
Mark’s house gave us full recovery for our bodies’ fatigue that have been caused by sleeping in a small campingvan for a few days, and also competing to occupy kitchen, shower, etc in other camping sites.
Fully equipped, well organized and cleanest kitchen (note that Japanese couple guaranteed).
Mark and his homestay Hiromi are warm and kind, gave us helpful tips that only locals would have known like where to go and where to avoid.
In addition, I can recommend in terms of cost, this place was cheaper than any other Airbnb or even camping base that we looked up, but the hospitality and the quality didn’t look like so.
Over all, this is the place if you’re looking for the best place near Queenstown.
