Chris and his place are both amazing! It was such a pleasure to stay at his very warm, stylish and cozy house. Chris welcomed us with great hospitality and we had some very good chats. He showed us around, provided local tips, which came in very handy when hiking to Mt. Taranaki, and even offered us his bikes. You can really tell that his guests matter to him. Providing us fresh eggs from his chicken was also a really nice touch. Would definitely recommend his place. I wish him all the best.
