While the place was generally nice and in a decent neighborhood, would suggest staying closer to downtown or other areas where you could easily walk to sites / stores - had to drive everywhere.
Also, no one greeted us when checking in at night - this was a major issue as it was very difficult to get into the house and get organized (dark, new country not knowing customs, etc). More importantly, there were several issues with the property when we checked in - bathroom was not clean, kitchen stove and oven were not clean, house was very cold when we got in, no garbage bags in garbage bins, etc. Took a lot of time to find lights, heat, find garbage bags, clean stove to cook, etc. Also, given all of the issues with the home and place not being as neat or clean in certain areas and no one being present to greet us and see any of the issues, the house keeper accused us of not cleaning and charged the owner an extra $100 NZ for cleaning, WHO CHARGED US EXTRA, even after we spent a lot of time cleaning up ourselves when we got there! We went back and forth, but it came down to our word vs the cleaner's word, she took the cleaner's word...
That said I STRONGLY SUGGEST that you ensure someone live is there to greet you so that you can check in easily, get acquainted with the property easily, and most importantly, make sure of any issues up front so that there are not mis-understandings when you leave and no questions on what issues are present when you arrive.
