Even though I only stayed one day with Alex, I had an amazing time there. The room and amenities were perfect and Alex and his wife are just lovely. Alex accepted my booking, even though it was on Christmas Day. I was expecting to sit in my room and not disturb him and his family celebrating, but before I knew it, they invited me to celebrate with them. It was such a nice surprise and I had such a lovely time and felt at home with them immediately. Thanks to Alex and his lovely family, I didn't have to spend Christmas alone and I also got to experience how it is celebrated in New Zealand. You can't put a price on such things. All I can say is: Thank you Alex and Family, and 100% recommended to stay there :-)
