We are a couple in our early 70's and have stayed in more than 30 Airbnb's in Europe, Asia, USA, UK and now New Zealand. Bruce is by far the exceptional host. Right from the start we felt like we were new friends rather than guests. Bruce was funny, accommodating, and full of interesting stories as well as sought-after information about New Zealand, the culture and.... earthquakes! His home is immaculately clean and tastefully decorated. Located a little far from town, we nevertheless were able to walk all the way to the museum. Used Uber to return home every night, not expensive. Highly recommend this lovely home and host.
