Sue and Sam were great to stay with. I stayed two nights and was very comfortable. Sue gave me good recommendations for things to see in NZ and even showed me around Auckland while including me in some of her dog walking outings. The house is just as described in the posting and was easy to get to and park near with my rental car.
Sam, the dog, is very friendly. I'd be surprised if he'd ever not like someone.
Sue works at home and keeps her distance, but was equally social when it was welcome.
I'd certainly book another night at Sue's.
