Sanae's townhouse was a perfect place to recover from almost 30 days traveling in NZ and getting our luggage re-organized for traveling back to the US. The townhouse was very open and airy, and well supplied with whatever we needed to make it our home for two nights. The restaurant down the street was as good as she said it would be and we ate there a couple of times. Since it is located across the street from a school, the noise in the morning and afternoon was a bit of a bother, but on the other hand, we enjoyed the singing of schoolchildren in their apparent end-of-term program. We were sorry that we were not able to get to know Sanae, because she was ready to give birth to her child at any moment while we were there. We would definitely stay there again if we had the chance.
