I booked Wendy’s place for my parents to stay in, as it’s close to where I live in Lower Hutt where my sister was staying with me. They said that Wendy’s home and hospitality was absolutely wonderful, and they loved every minute of it! Wendy and John were there to greet us as we arrived, and were incredibly welcoming and easy to chat to. Wendy had sent us directions a few days before we arrived which were useful as the house is tucked right up the mountain, meaning it’s private and has outstanding views but is also only a 15 minute drive to the nearest town with supermarkets and shops etc. The bedroom and bathroom are in their own section of the house, or really it’s own wing of the house, and having a key to a private entrance meant my parents felt they could come and go as they pleased without disturbing anyone else. The house and surrounding garden is immaculate and beautifully decorated. Mum and Dad had a delicious breakfast everyday laid out for them in the front room with an enormous window overlooking the view outside. They described staying there as a total luxury, and that whilst Wendy and John were always within contact if needed they completely had their own space and felt totally at home. They’ve talked about it a lot since and would be more than happy to recommend it or even better stay there again given the chance! Thank you Wendy and John for a fabulous stay.
