Jennifer and Graham have welcomed us with open arms. They are lovely people who have helped us in every way possible and gave advice on what to do. The house is very nice and comfortable, located only a few feet away from the beautiful ocean. It is possible to go on many trips, Auckland is also very close. We can only recommend it to anyone. Thank you for everything!

Read More...Jennifer & Graham were the perfect hosts. They met us at the airport and helped us throughout our stay advising on transport links, things to do etc which was really essential as the weather was mixed. Their home provided us with an excellent base for seeing Auckland (a short ferry crossing away) and the surrounding area. We enjoyed their company and hope to visit North Island again soon as there is so much more to see. Thank you both for your hospitality.
