Jax was awesome enough to take our booking less than an hour before check in on the day we stayed (weather put a dent in our plans to do a multi day hike) and all I can say is wow! Her place was such a neat little home away from home. Bed was super comfy. Kitchen had all the equipment you need to throw together a decent bite to eat - along with a well stocked shelf of extra ingredients and treats (including some GF breakfast options for those who need it). We were able to combine bits from the "help yourself shelf" with things we had in our cooler to make a pretty decent meal for dinner. The bathroom was immaculate with a decent shower. Her dog Teddy Bear was such a dude. Full of personality! He came by with his fave toy and made sure I had all the pats I needed while I was missing my own dog back home. If you want a down to earth kiwi expericnce - look no further! We will be staying again for sure.
