    Verity is the person who is genuine and looks out for people. I have had a very enjoyable time here,happily traveling from home every day before school and happily returning in the evening in anticipation of Verity’s rich dinners! Every day here has been a great time! Thank you to Verity, Karl, Jezz, Poppy for all the fun this family has brought me and the warmth of the roommates I’ve had here. Thank you all!

    We couldn’t imagine a better place to spend our first days in New Zealand, we really enjoyed our stay with Verity and Karl. They helped us and gave us great advices to start our new adventure. We really feel like home and that’s definitely what Verity wishes for all her guests! It was a pleasure to meet you guys and we’ll definitely miss you, Jazzy and Poppy…
    Take care,
    Julie and Marion

    Verity Karl and Jazzy were the best hosts. A perfect intro to Homestay. They were so welcoming and helped us with all sorts that we needed for our travels. Hopefully we will be returning when we are next in Auckland!

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.
