An incredibly cozy place to stay. Paula and Phil provide everything you could possibly need for a very comfortable stay. Waking up to the sounds of the birds in idyllic surroundings was a little bit of NZ heaven. I wish I could have stayed longer!

Lovely hosts, who were very welcoming to their immaculate, warm and comfortable home. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac only 12/15 minutes walk away from town, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, including the continental breakfast with a choice of fruits, breads and jams.

Fantastic homestay venue. Our host family was extremely friendly, helpful and accomodating. The house is on a quiet street close to a ferry stop and retail outlets. The bedroom was clean and very well appointed with a beautiful view of the city skyline. The bed was super comfortable.
