Fabulous stay!
I stayed for almost one month and a half, from Nov till Dec.
It was pretty quiet as only one room was rent as BnB; the rest of them were rented by long-term stayers.
There were two of us: another girl and I, and it was perfect - we could decide who's doing what, and we could be flexible about the time.
Apart from making up the room… read more

I spent two and a half months here over the holidays and it was a great experience! The work is fair and only for 2.5 hours in the morning, which enabled me to pick up a babysitting job that Nick and Jenny set up for me. It is a great spot to save up some money for further traveling of NZ. Nick and Jenny are more than willing to take you out and… read more
