Nani and Michael are very friendly hosts, and did everything they could to make my stay enjoyable. The bed was very comfortable, the bedroom was attractive and well furnished, and I felt very much at home using the kitchen and lounge area. I had two friends staying for one night, and Nani made up very comfortable beds for them in the lounge as the house was fully booked for Womad. A big plus is the location of the house - very easy to find, close to the State Highway, so quick and straight-forward access to New Plymouth. Waitara is an interesting and historical small town that I enjoyed exploring. I can highly recommend staying with Nani and Michael.
