Prime location!! Straight and easy run to the airport. Just a few minutes on the bus to nearby Eden Park.So central to the city centre.Bus stop just outside the gate.We have a freestanding studio which is self contained and separate from the main house.It has its own bathroom, kitchenette and own private deck.
We live in a 1920s bungalow.It is a big house and we have two rooms for guests. There is a shared bathroom .Lots of shops around us, supermarket, shopping mall and restaurants galore.We both love reading and travelling. I love gardening and enjoy the fruits of my labour.
We do take in guests at short notice, if we have room available.
We have really enjoyed having people from different parts of the world to stay, and have shared jokes and food and stories. So looking forward to the next lot of lovely people. You are most welcome.
Dinners. Because I love cooking, I am happy to provide dinners at a minimal cost.I cook mostly stir-fry, Chinese, Indian curries, Roast meals and just about anything else that people fancy.Feel at home to ask.

Victor and Rosemary made us feel very welcome and went out of their way to be helpful. We stayed in a comfortable room with own bathroom and kitchenette. Location is very convenient for the airport and it is easy to catch a bus into the city (important when wine tasting on Waiheke Island)

Welcoming and friendly hosts. Nothing is too much trouble. Clean room. Maybe one mattress a little too soft for an adult but would suit a child fine. Very convenient for airport.

I've been amazed by this trip with the truly astonishing & beautiful sights of New Zealand & most importantly the hospitality of people around especially from my hosts "mama & papa" Rosemary & Victor! They have been very accommodating and helpful during my stay here and the house just feels so cosy and warmth-of-a-family. Always enjoyed my chat with them and playing around with Benji, Sweetpea (really adorable members of the house). Thanks God I chose a great place to stay for this trip.....quiet neighbourhood, near to city area and shops, helpful hosts and a nice room to myself! Can't ask for more.... Cheers!

Thank you Glenn. It was a pleasure to have you stay and get to know you. We all love you and so did our 2 little yorkies, Benji and Sweetpea. They loved all the attention you gave them. Hope to keep in touch and have you come back as a family member.
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 199 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.
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.
