Ingrid is a warm friendly lady who opens her home to guests and makes them feel part of the family. She is currently renovating and therefore her home is not polished, perfect and pristine....it is homely, welcoming, warm and friendly and what she has done is awesome. I had the best nights sleep I have ever had when away. So 12/10 for hospitality, value and a real adventure. I high,y recommend Ingrid’s as a stop between Auckland and Taupo or in our case Hawke’s Bay.
