In all my travel experience I've not stayed with a host, and if it's something that you're a little apprehensive on, let this review be your push in the right direction.
From the moment you arrive, you feel at home. When you go to leave, you'll want to return.
Toni and Joel helped make our New Zealand trip, and it wouldn't have been the same without them, or their adorable furry companions; We even got the opportunity to meet some of Toni's friends, and they were incredible humans too.
My family and I, were always welcomed and met with kindness and laughter. If you're a little more on the introverted side, don't be alarmed; They always went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable and looked after.
Their home is beautiful, spacious, clean and tidy. It's located in a quaint, yet central location, making it easy on travel between destinations.
We LOVED our stay! We genuinely felt like we left New Zealand gaining two new friends and memories we'll cherish forever.
