I booked Mike and Helen’s place on behalf of my sister and brother-in-law, who visited Auckland from Hamilton for a bit of an outing, and some much-needed R&R. The booking process went without a hitch, and communication with Helen was easy and pleasant. Concerning the accommodation, this is what my sister and her husband have shared: “What wonderful people, what a warm welcome, and what a beautiful room, bathroom, and garden. Mike and Helen’s genuine hospitality made us feel so at home, and we can’t remember the last time we had such spontaneous and enjoyable conversation with people we had never met before. Everything was absolutely immaculate and most comfortable. We had the best sleep - great mattress on the bed! The special wee touches, like the coffee, tea, and biscuits in our room, were much appreciated, while our breakfast was generous and tasty. We want to thank Mike and Helen for an absolute perfect overnight stay; you made us feel so special and welcome. Not far from the beach and located in a lovely residential area, staying in the Garden Room was an absolute treat, and we felt truly pampered. We cannot recommend this Airbnb highly enough. Thank you so much.”
