10/10 Excellent

From the minute we arrived we were made to feel very welcome by the owner. The room was big and very comfortable. It also had a washing machine and tumble dryer which was great for us as we had been travelling around the South Island for a week and had a caseful of dirty clothes! Highly recommended.
