By far the best Airbnb stay ever (and I’ve stayed in countless Airbnb’s)! Joanne’s place is everything a true Airbnb should be - a nice, reasonable room in someone’s personal home.
I booked last-minute looking for a quick two night weekend getaway from work in Hamilton and wanted to explore the Taupo region fishing.
Joanne was quick to reply to my inquiry and accommodating with my late check in request (which I didn’t end up needing to use).
Joanne and Dave’s hospitality was over-the-top and I enjoyed every minute of my stay. Dave is an avid fisherman and helped me find good spots to try my luck and I very much enjoyed learning about his beekeeping. Joanne is an excellent cook and the unexpected home-cooked meals were perfect after nearly overdosing on fish and chips and fast food during my travels prior in the week.
I plan on returning to NZ for business later in the year and will definitely be coming back and referring my co-workers. It’s funny how things work out sometimes and I’m sure glad I booked this place and made some new friends who helped make my first trip to New Zealand amazing.
