"Consider our house your home base while in New Zealand. If you find yourself in a pickle during the rest of your travels here, just reach out to us and we’ll help you." That's the kind of hosts Jane and Dudley are. They made sure I was comfortable and enjoying my trip. Their place was very clean and comfortable, a real value for your money. The location was ideal since it was out of the bustle and construction going on nowadays in the city, but close enough, and 5 minutes walk to the ocean. Also, bike trails are accessible from their hose, and these trails lead you to the excellent wineries in the area. Bus to town are close by and the Intercity bus is 25 minutes walk away, but whenever possible, they are nice enough to give you a lift. I had so much fun chatting with Jane and Dudley, and say this very sincerely that they are the kind of folks who I would welcome in my own home as friends. THANK YOU for your hospitality and friendship!
