Christine was great at responding to my questions about all sorts of things before arriving! She was there when I arrived and made me feel right at home immediately. I enjoyed her family and friends also. Bedroon comfy and very nice location near a great grocery store, bus line and walks. She gave me all sorts of helpful maps, bus lines, city, etc. and even outlined routes for me.
Did laundry there which was great after 2 weeks of traveling already.
She also drove me into the city the day I left to a meetup motel for my Active Adventure trip start for the North island. This was very helpful to say the least!
I would reccommend staying here!
