The stay at Peter's home was fabulous. Private end of the house with nice bed room and bathroom. Plenty of room to unpack. Peter also had a power strip connected which had both AC and USB ports, so its easy to charge all of our gadgets. Also, travel guides were on hand.
Joining Peter and his other guests in his sitting room was fun and informative. Peter is a wealth of information for all things New Zealand,
There are a couple restaurants, supermarket, and ATM all within a few blocks, easy walking distance.
