Penny and John were fabulous hosts for us from the start. With easy communication leading up to the ocheckin and helpful suggestions for activities to do. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome by having night time chats before bed, and recommending activities - giving an authentic New Zealand experience. Some of the highlights were seeing a sheep farm in action, during the shearing days, having a NZ dinner and petting some sting rays up the coast. The food was fresh everyday, and the smiles and laughs that we shared with them every night were memories that will be cherished.
If anyone has the opportunity to visit Gisbourne and are looking to stay with a welcoming family that know the area, I highly recommend staying at PJs for all the right reasons. If we come back, I know where we are staying.
