Staying with Maryke is THE BEST experience that I had with airbnb. She is so welcoming and thoughtful host who offered us warm room and self-cooked breakfast. Maryke’s place has great location next to the Tangariro river. The house is decorated with beautiful and artful pieces everywhere. Her front and back yards are very beautiful and clean. The Tui birds loved to visit in the morning. Her dog Rosie is really cute and friendly, who liked to play with us in the side living room under the skylight. It was definitely an unforgettable experience for us to stay with Maryke. I am touched by her lovely, warm and welcoming attitude. Highly recommended.
