I stayed 3 nights and was very happy with the accommodations. Kirsty and Aaron are easy going and keep the place in great condition. Kirsty put me in the larger room when I arrived because she thought the smaller bed was creaky and needed replacing. I probably would not have noticed, but I thought that was nice.
Internet service was very good and the shower pressure was great. They keep several bottle of cold filtered water in the fridge, which was a real plus. NZ water is good anyway, but I like my water cold. The living room is nice with a big TV, which I didn't think I would use but ended up watching some Netflix, so that was nice to have as well.
For anyone worried about dogs, Sammy is about the calmest and quietest dog I have met.
Location was very good for me, with a car. Major grocery store about 200m away for anyone on foot. There is a train that runs very close to the house. It didn't bother me at all, and I don't think it runs between 11pm-7am (thought not much wakes me, so I wouldn't know), but if you are easily disturbed it might bother you.
I had a great stay and would definitely recommend. Great place for a short or long stay.
