It was a great place for my stay. The best things were how easy it was to get there from the airport (@70 mins by bus for <$2 NZ to a stop right outside the house) and into town (@ 20-30 mins for <$2 NZ each way).
The family was very friendly, and the shared bathroom worked well ( it was off my bedroom - so like an en-suite, just with 2 separate doors).
