Janine's place is great. Its location is ideal, a close walk to shops and restaurants, close to beach and in a quiet street. The house itself is beautifully laid out, super clean and Janine is generous with plenty of bedding, towels and kitchen equipment as well as boards games to make our 8 day stay a true home away from home. It was our first trip to New Zealand and spent quite a few days doing day trips to different areas within 2 hours of the house but always enjoyed "coming home". It was an ideal spot for our family of 5 (inc 2 teenagers) to re-connect. Thanks Janine for a wonderful family holiday.
