Homestay accommodation in a New Zealand home is always comfortable, with friendly hosts who are happy to introduce you to friends and other locals.
Homestays are an excellent choice if it's your first visit to New Zealand and you want a little home comfort, with the added benefits of hosts to help with information on what to see and how to get around.
You share all domestic facilities with the family, including the bathroom/s, and you eat meals together too, often including dinner. Homestay hosts are naturally genial characters and your stay with them will be enjoyably social.
