Our stay was great.
Before even arriving Ian offered to give us a lift from where we would arrive nearby. We declined but met him coincidentially while walking there, which led to him once again offering us a lift and a short drive through ngaruawahia which we accepted all the while making easy conversation about this and that, a common accurance throughout our stay. All conversations with Ian were pleasant and jovial all the while feeling sincere. His pets were lovely especially his cat bex, who often meowed at us cutely asking for food or pets.

From our experience Ian is very kind always willing to lend a hand to anyone, proven multiple times over our stay but especially at the end, where he when we had trouble getting to our next airbnb because of the floods offered to drive us there for fuel cost.
We will certainly stay there again if searching for a stay in the area and would recommend it to anyone.
Once again thanks for the nice time and the help.
Best wishes
Kiyan & Julian
