This is the first time on AirBnb that I wish I could give someone 6-stars. If you are in KeriKeri area, let this be the place you stay, you will thank your luck.
I travel regularly far and wide and stay at finest hotels and tons of AirBnB's, where Four Seasons Hotel is the most frequented, but Mark and Rory's place beats all the best not because of some fancy view, not that this place is any less beautiful than most places you will ever stay. The KINDNESS of the hosts floored us.
As Americans disgruntled by the latest Trump win, we can say a short stay like this restored our faith in humanity. Mark and Rory are exemplary humans that went out of their way to make us comfortable, offered to bring us takeaway dinner when it was raining heavily, gave us wonderful home baked lemon-coconut cake when he departed, offered stove-cooked coffee from their side of the home and gave us a late check-out for as long as we want because they were not booked the next day.
The place is immaculate, super clean, very well designed, appointed with great quality goodies and very beautiful aesthetically designed.
89 countries and be fortunate enough to stay at the world's finest place, Mark and Rory leave me wishing how the world would be if we were all this kind, giving and helpful to each other.
Even if the place is booked up for our next visit to the beautiful Bay of Islands area, we will make sure to stop by this place and saying a hello to Rory and Mark. You guys make this world a better place, be well!
