Linda and her place are AWESOME! The location is fantastic, a nice size apartment tucked away from the main road, attached to the main house. It's not in the touristy area downtown, but across the lake in a nice quiet area (5 min walk to the grocery store), with a gorgeous view of a mountain from the kitchen window. The place has been recently renovated and is gorgeous, and the quality of everything provided (amenities, linens, etc) is superb! Linda was so warm and such an excellent host, I even got to meet her lovely daughter. If I ever have the opportunity to visit NZ again, I would book her place in a heartbeat.
