Number 1: The property.
It's exactly what they've advertised on the listing. Fantastic rooms and bathroom with every amenity you could possibly want during your stay. Their location is amazing, overlooking the beautiful Lyall bay and with good connectivity to town. Great location for plane-spotting enthusiasts in particular. Everything was spotless with careful attention to detail.
Number 2: The hosts.
Now this is what I've been waiting to write about. Judith and Graham are the most wonderful people you could hope to be staying with. They truly provided us with the warmth and comfort of staying with family so far away from home. They genuinely cared for us, both our comfort and safety. And took the time to talk to us about their family and listen to us talk about ours. Now that's not something you always get with an Airbnb. We were super-upset about leaving Judith hanging after she'd prepped breakfast for us which we had to skip as we were running late for our flight out. We only wish we had more days to spend in Welly with such beautiful people (our stay was cut short due to some other reasons). And we're very sure we're going to be knocking on their door for our next trip to Welly as well. The places you visit are more importantly about the people rather than the place itself sometimes, and trust me, you won't go wrong with this wonderful couple and their fantastic home.
