Linda and Doug are exceptional hosts being hospitable, welcoming, friendly, and informative about Paraparaumu. My stay was both restful and fun as the rooms had everything I needed and conversation with the Beagles was easy, covering not least their many house swopping stories and experiences. I spent my days exploring the many walkways which are flat and easy running from the town along the coastline. Although their home is within walking distance of town, Linda and Doug kindly collected/dropped me off at the coach with my luggage which was much appreciated. They are a warm, intelligent, inclusive couple and I highly recommend staying with them.
