My two separate 4-night and 3-night stays at Serena’a place was everything I would’ve hoped for. Her communication made the check-in and check-out process very easy, and she even gave me a ride on her way to work when I needed it. She (and her partner) also had tips for local activities that I found useful.
The place itself had everything I needed - a comfortable and private bedroom, a bathroom to myself, and a convenient location into town or to other areas of South Island.
If I’m ever in the area again, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay with her again! Thanks for a lovely stay Serena and family :)
