Pardon the lengthy review... But it's too good!
Michelle's place is by far the best we've stayed so far in NZ.
This place is great for couples, everything was designed to cater to that experience so thoughtfully.
We're so thankful to be the first guests for this place of hers... Through our conversations we've realised that they've been hosting people for many years, their experience was astounding.
We've droved in at night so it was pretty dark, thankfully she had a sign on the main road and a bar of lights to show where to go, helped us to feel that we're not lost...
Turning into their place, we were immediately greeted by a warm welcome... That was really surprising cause we were much later than our check in time...
There's a beautiful wooden table outside and BBQ right outside if it's really something you wanna experience...
Into the house, it was already warm and cosy, Michelle has already turned on the heater and Aircon for us...
She was incredibly meticulous with every single detail, completely blown away with the amount of thought that has went through the house. Even a warmer in the toilet!
Dimmers everywhere, setting the mood anytime, the classy feel and position of everything was just right... Even pillows with different fillings just for preference...
With all of that, the extra details in having no footwear beyond the first few tiles made it even more comfortable for people that are nitty gritty about cleanliness....
Toilet with a dome just cause it keeps the heat and moisture in, your glass wouldn't be fogged up when you're out of your bath.
Even tea and coffee for your preference, even a complimentary energy bar and fruits...
Both views at night as we slept in, blinds open seeing the stars to the fact that the blinds, when drawn, completely illiminated the sunrays if you're sleeping in slightly longer...
Too much, you've to experience it for yourself to understand...
Most of all, the human element was so present, the conversations as to how the place was built, any way they can improve, they are really constructive about it... Great attitude and personality going beyond what is necessary, setting a benchmark that's way higher than most Airbnbs'.
As quoted,
"We wanna make sure the place is nice enough that we would wanna live in it ourselves."
Cheers guys.
