Chris' home felt like an oasis of calm to me. Loved all the wood in the house, the beautiful views, the lush forrest around it, and, last but not least, the comfy bed. Chris was very welcoming, friendly, and knowledgable about the region. Waitati itself is a very cute place, and the landscape around it is breathtaking. I'd definitely stay again. Thank you Chris for being such a gracious host!
