I have stayed 5 difference places in New Zealand and this place is the best value for money. There are places better than it, but they are almost 1.5 times more expensive.
To be more specific, the host is very thoughtful and easy to communicate. Firstly, the rooms was already heated when we arrive, this really means a lot to travelers who just finished their long day drive in winter. Secondly, despite being an old house, attention was given to every corner and hidden in all the details.
Lastly, this really is a quality place, there is no cheap airbnb-ish paintings or decorations. The lightings are just spot on! It feels like how I would have decorated my own place (and I probably cannot do a equally good job.)
The only downside to our stay is lack of dryer for our laundry and a touch of mould smell in one of the bedroom. However, if you are not using all the bed rooms like us and have not accumulated a lot of cloths for washing. It should not bother you.
