We booked to stay with Anne for the first 3 weeks on arrival into New Zealand while we were looking for our place to rent. Anne was an absolutely fabulous host, kind, warm and welcoming and offered us so much help and many tips. Communication before our arrival with Anne was always prompt. Anne’s house is lovely and homely and the kitchen is well equipped and perfect for cooking. The garden is also lovely! In the 3 weeks we were there it became quite a home away from home. Her dog Bez is gorgeous and such a friendly character. We would highly recommend staying here. 😃
