Excellent experience. Every detail in the room is perfect. My family spent a 10 days tour in NZ and stayed 3 nights in 4-star hotel, 3 nights in Motel, and 3 nights in 3 different home stays. Of all the 9 nights, this one really impressed me most by the clean, comfortable and art-spirit room, hospitality and nice breakfast by house owner. For my parents this is their first time travelling abroad and they told this night stay gave them the best sleep by the comfortable mattress. My wife told me the biggest regret of this travel in NZ is that we only arrange one night stay here. My 20 months old daughter spent happy time with the puppy and is always asking me about him and Ms. Barb on the way back. She learn many new words during the stay there, which really surprised me.
