Helen was a great host. I had the pleasure of meeting Pete during check-in time. He was very helpful and gave us a quick tour around the place. Helen left us snacks and milk in the fridge to help us make our morning a little nicer. The kitchen and washer/dryer made it easy for our group to relax and reorganize during our trip in New Zealand. Although I stayed for only one night, I would totally recommend this place for large parties as it fit our group of 7 easily.
