We had a lovely stay at Susan and Jerome's place in Waiheke during the Christmas days! The entire family is amazingly sweet and made us feel very welcomed immediately.
Before the trip, Susan was very proactive and helpful with both practical advice and restaurant bookings. When arrived, our little seperate "house" was nicely made up with comfy bedding. We even got breakfast including eggs and fresh fruit from the garden and delicious musli. Jerome and Susan also gave a lot of tips during the stay and even offered us to borrow their newly bought kayaks. When leaving, they topped it up with a Xmas gift. Only thing to note is that the bathroom is in the main building but it worked fine for us. All in all, this is the perfect place to stay if you are looking for a local, warm and inntimate New Zeeland experience. Thanks to you all!
