Pat's place is exceptional value - easily the best stay I have had anywhere incl NZ, Aus HK & Europe. Pat is a very sincere & generous host who goes out of her way to ensure her guests have an enjoyable stay. In my opinion she raises the bar for super hosts. She is a really good listener and is happy to enjoy a chat if you so wish, or leave you to yourself if that is your choice. Personally, I like to get to know my host so had good conversations with her. Your room in Pat's place is modern, has a lovely new ensuite plus a walk in robe !!! The bed and pillows are very comfortable, the shower is excellent and there is good quality linen. Breakfast is provided each morning and there is off street parking and all of the above are included at the lowest price I paid anywhere in New Zealand. I give Pat's place the highest possible recommendation: 5 stars for the room & 5 stars for Pat.
