We rarely ever felt so welcome as we did with Lesley and Derek. Our room was nice, clean and comfy (including a TV and superfast Internet connection). You can make use of the living/lounge room and kitchen of the house. Lesley and Derek have their own retreat in the back of the house so it doesn't feel like you are invading their space and you can interact with them however you want.
We ended up having many conversations with Lesley and Derek. We stayed a couple of extra days, had dinner with them (Lesley is a great cook!) and they helped us out with any questions we had and even helped us out selling our car we have been using to travel around NZ.
Thank you for this amazing and wonderful stay
