This large home is a great value for the money. Yes it is basic accommodation(older home, no dishwasher, bring your own shampoo) hence the budget price. It has nice views, in town and easy to walk to the shops/cafes, lots of space, pool table(my kids loved this!), electric blankets for the beds and 2 heat pumps. This was perfect for our family happy to save some money as we were only staying for a few days to go to Milford sound. Maria was very responsive to all our communication!
