Due to a lockdown in NZ as a result of Covid-19 being found in the community in Auckland, I had to cancel our booking at the very last minute with John. John totally understood what was going on and was super accommodating to ensure that we were able to get a refund. While sadly we did not get to stay with John on this trip as we had to return home within 48 hours, I would very highly recommend John to anyone, and we will make an effort to stay with him next time we are allowed to travel again.
