The place is very well located in a beautiful area at a 5min drive from Takapu Road Train Station. From there it is a 15min ride to Wellington (2.50NZD each way).
The room was clean and comfortable, so was the shared bathroom.
Although we knew the host didn't provide a kitchen, we found it quite unpractical and hard to get some warm food since the weather didn't permit us to cook much outside with our camping gear and there was no microwave available to heat up take away food.
