I have a two bedroom home with one room spare. Our town is near to the gateway to the Coromandel, half hour from Matamata (home of The Hobbit experience), 1 1/2 hours to Auckland City and just over an hour to our beautiful ocean beaches at Tauranga. We have hot springs nearby and our own warm pools in town. Mt Te Aroha can be climbed by those who have the fitness to do so and Waiwere Falls is a gorgeous climb to make if you have the energy. Rotorua is around 1 1/2 to 2 hours drive to see mud pools, guysers and much NZ history.
We only have two buses a day in Te Aroha but I may be persuaded to transport guests if they provide the petrol to do so.
I am a working person but am home at least 12 hours of each day. I can provide a breakfast and there is a chip shop about 5 minutes walk from my house. There is a computer in the bedroom for respectful use by the homestayer.

I have cats.

About the Area

Our house is in a quiet residential street, 5 minutes drive from the town centre, its up to an hour to walk depending on fitness.

There are pubs in town that have a courtesy van should you wish to have an evening out. Its a small town though, probably younger people would prefer driving to Hamilton (1 hr) or Matamata (1/2 hr)

House Rules

Keep noise to a minimum after ten, this is a small town in a quiet street.
You can use the kitchen but I expect it to be left tidy.
The cats are part of my home so please do not shut them out of the house.
Please leave windows and doors secure should you be leaving the house empty.
No phone calls. Please provide your own cell or mobile phone.

Smoking Rules

Your host is a non-smoker.

Smoking is not allowed.

How do I book?

Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

When do I pay?

Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.

When can I share my contact details?

Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
