A lovely spacious house both inside and out, with lovely hosts. Big bedrooms, comfy beds, great shower, and heated floor in the bathroom add that bit of luxury.
It is noisy because of the road, but majority of places we stayed in NZ were all near main roads so not unusual.
It was worth paying a tad extra than a motor lodge for the extra space and luxury. It was too cold for us to use the outdoor area but these would be fantastic in the summer. Our first taste of an Airbnb and we were certainly not disappointed.
Thanks again Mark and Mary.
