Grant loves hosting people and it shows in his warmth and the way he cares for his guests. He takes time to chat about your day (if you’re happy with chatting - he’s careful to ask that), offers cups of tea on his lovely deck, finds me a ripe avocado from his tree for breakfast, offers an umbrella as I head off (it was promising to rain). He is adaptable too with things like timing (eg. I needed to drop my bag earlier than check-in time and he was cool about that). Grant and Shivaun’s home is colourful and relaxing with the feel of tropical Auckland about it, and the room and bathroom are private - in their own area - and very clean and cheerful. Highly recommended.
