Liked: Cleanliness
A clean and cosy warm home, faces the sun, nestled away in a quiet street allowing you to experience waking up to the kiwi birdsong in the mornings. Matt the host was great, excellent communication and the whole experience was seamless with booking, questions prior to arrival and check out. The only feedback if I had to dig deep to find/provide is that the beds were not very supportive, they were very soft. But that’s me being pedantic. Amazing if you love soft beds! But other than great stay!

Big house, filetting bench and freezer for fish are surely a plus.
