Valda is an outstanding host, who really cares about her guests. I felt heartily welcomes from on the first conversation.
After a long bus ride she picked me up from the station and took me for a refreshing ocean swim with her friends.
Afterwards she shared a beautiful dinner with me which was mostly made out of her home grown Vegges. She showed me around New Plymouth and took me to a local pub, but left me enough space to explore on my own as well!
It was nice to meet a thoughtful, interesting, spontaneous, fun, cool, warm hearted and smart lady like Valda. Can highly recommend staying with her! 😊
