Julian & Frances are two of the kindest hosts we have had the pleasure of staying with. Their care is evident in every detailed arrangements in the living quarters and in the time they take to respond to our every query and interest. We stayed at their “Bach@Poripori” apartment. The beds are super-comfortable; the kitchen is prepared with all the necessities, and then some; even books and games in the living room, and of course, a very informative guide and the readiness to share tips regarding the activities in the area... all combine to make for an exceptional stay. Did I say that the flora of the surrounding area is amazing? Nearby McLaren Falls is one of the most serene spots on earth; don’t miss the Kaimai Cafe with excellent coffees and great food... I could go on... Highest recommendation!
