Nicola was a marvelous host. Her century old home was so inviting and cozy, a treat for sure. Nicola greeted us with cheerfulness and sincerity and even picked us up from the airport upon arrival.!!We were able to ride to town from the bus stop close by her home. As an extra treat, she provided us with tasty apples right off the tree; even learned a new Māori greetings. I would recommend a stay with Nicola.
