My girlfriend and I arrived in the afternoon to meet Neville and Debbie, they greeted us with home roasted espresso and fresh baked scones (which were both delicious!). Our hosts were extremely helpful in planning the rest of our trip down the south island (giving us many tips that you probably wouldn't find in guidebooks. It was perfect.
The apartment was huge for just the two of us but it worked nicely to have a full kitchen and the ability to have a relaxing night in after dining at restaurants for almost every meal. The apartment is currently set up as a large studio but Debbie had mentioned a plan to remodel to add some walls for a little privacy in case you were planning on staying with several couples and didn't want to hear each other snore. All in all, we had a very nice time and will recommend this apartment in the future.
