Favorite VRBO in New Zealand

This place was by far our favorite VRBO stay during our recent 2-week tour of the country that involved 4 other stays. It is in this great neighborhood that is only a 7-minute drive from the airport. The host thinks of everything including making sure that there's milk, wine, and beer in the fridge for your beverage needs and a candy bar on your bed, right by the softest towels ever. The views were so spectacular that I passed on an afternoon sightseeing adventure just so I could sit on the adirondack chairs on the private patio. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer. Thanks so much for the great hospitality!
