Location: The home is located in a quiet residential area of Stratford. It is a private place connected to their garage and separate from the main home. We took a short walk down the street and discovered a cute park with trails but it was getting too dark for us to continue.
Home: it is sparkling clean! Very tidy, very clean, very homey. It's modern and looks newly renovated. Comfy bed and nice curtains to create full darkness.
Breakfast: a canned fruit salad, muesli with fresh milk in the mini fridge, coffee and tea included.
Hospitality: Patty and Murray are great hosts! They provided a fantastic check in and lots of great local tips. We wish we had stayed longer to learn more about NZ and enjoy their Airbnb! We have stayed in easily over 20+ Airbnbs and didnt' know what to expect being their first Airbnb guests, but they provided hospitality like seasoned expert hosts. Highly recommend.
