Amanda was an exceptional host! We ended up having to book with her last minute while our car was being repaired - she was very quick in her communications and flexible based on our situation. The shared spaces were clean and tidy and tastefully decorated. The room she offered was spacious (perfect for packing for a multi-day hike up to Lake Waikaeremoana!) and the bed was so comfortable!! Her location was fantastic even with us being carless - we were only short walks away to the cafes, supermarket, iSite, the river and even the mechanic! We would highly recommend staying here and happily come back (this time without our broken car!) She and her dog, Kaha, made our stressful situation so much more bearable.
