Jill is a pleasure and a useful treasure with whom to spend time and from whom to gain kiwi, travel and general knowledge. Her home is inviting and clean and garden is beautiful. Breakfast will be waiting for you (with the morning paper!) and the comfy bed and clean bathroom round out the perfect stay. Thanks, Jill, for your sense of humour, restaurant and travel recommendations and interesting conversation.

Sarah and Daniel are friendly hosts who provided a comfy room, home-baked bread, dining room with an amazing view and entertaining and informative conversation! What more could one ask?

Marion and Murray have a beautiful home, a huge, comfortable and private space for homestay guests and are easy, friendly, hospitable, helpful and funny people, a joy with whom to interact. Any guest not fully enjoying their stay here has some serious problems! Cheers Marion, Murray! Ron & Tommi (spelled T-o-m-m-i) ;-)

Bess is best. Wayne is way cool. They are a welcoming, friendly and easy-going couple who have a fascinating home. We were lucky to have stayed with them and hope to see them again soon...in Whitianga or Easter Island! Highly recommended. Kia ora!

Paul was the perfect host for me and my partner, and doubtless could be for you too. The 8 glowing reviews provided by others before me are sufficiently accurate, if not quite laudatory enough. Fine...WE didn't get butter chicken, but the spicy Chinese pork was a sophisticated sign that Paul is not only a voracious world traveler, but also a world-class cook. There. Sold yet? Do yourself a favour and book now, just not on the dates we want to stay again! Thanks, Paul. See you in...Mozambique? ...Machu Picchu? ...Montreal? OK, Auckland in six weeks. Ron & Tommi
