My partner and I spent nearly two weeks with Charmaine and Bill. We came to them off the back of a terrible rental situation in which we had been scammed for months. We were exhausted and drained and very much in need of a safe, quiet place to relax and recharge before our departure from New Zealand.
Bill and Charmaine gave us this and more. There home is beautifully decorated, sparkling clean, and made for the perfect retreat to rest up in and plan for our departure. Our room was lovely, very comfy bed, thoughtful homey touches.
While the space was amazing, it was really Charmaine and Bill themselves who made our stay a most enjoyable one. They took the time to really get to know us, understand our needs and situation, and offered help and accommodate us every chance they got. They are always up for a good chat and so generous in sharing their kitchen and living space to make guests such as ourselves feel like family. Their hospitality was second to none.
They were very understanding of us both having Asperger's, which helped us relax and feel comfortable throughout our stay. They even offered to help us get rid of some items we couldn't take with us on the plane and were extremely gracious when we accidentally burned food in the microwave. (We are so sorry about that!)
We also really enjoyed their sweet kitties. :)
Over all, we cannot state enough how much we enjoyed our stay and how welcome we were made to feel. This was truly one of the best Airbnbs we have ever had the pleasure of booking and would gladly stay again as well as recommend to anyone passing through Wellington!
Thank you Charmaine and Bill for everything, and we wish you all the best! :D
