Gary and Marianne were really friendly, warm and welcoming. And being 22 (can't rent a car), they were so kind to drop me off at Paia town on their way to the grocery store. The room is exactly as it looks in the picture. I love it. It has a comfortable and homey feeling to it. But, their home isn't in a walking distance to the restaurants so you'll need a car for that. Other than that, I'm quite satisfied with my stay there.
