The location is pretty good.
Lovely couple!December 2016
It was a unforgetable stay in the house of a lovely couple. The greating with a traditionally hongi was an interesting experience. The host gave answers to every question we had. We will come back as soon as possible.
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.

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.
