First off, let me tell you that 3 out of 3 times staying with Airb&b, we got fed up!!! Bronwen and Mike changed that for us. Such wonderful hosts. They were friendly, flexible and professional. They gave us suggestions on what to do locally and in other regions. We wish we had known Bronwen prior to planning our own stay, as her suggestions were spot on and made a big difference to our overall vacation . For example, Bronwell advised us on the cost/benefits of driving back to Auckland with the car versus flying (in the end we decided to fly back and ended up ditching the car rental (despite having to pay $500 for not returning it). Bronwen was very honest in her advice, even though it cost her financially.
