Visiting Carol and Geoff's airbnb gave me a sense of being a part of an extended Kiwi family. The accommodations were perfect for me, with a kitchen I could feel home in and Carol even helped me prepare New Zealand yams (new to me), as well as shared her homemade scones and some vegan pie. I was lucky to meet a wonderful cycler guest from Scotland the second night and we did potluck dinner with many fresh things thanks to our hosts. Visited nearby Villa Maria winery and picked cherries on first day of the season. Don't miss this genuine hospitality.
