Nice place very close to grocery store (a block away), restaurants, shops, and an easy 20-30 minute walk to downtown. Wayne is a wonderful host. My one complaint is that the room, and the house, is really cold (though this seems to be common in New Zealand). Thank goodness for the electric blanket! There's a panel heater in the room but it doesn't give off much heat. Overall a great place to stay, close to downtown.
