My husband Howard and I live in a small settlement in the Coromandel with our cat Marmie and dogs- Zara, Brandie and Tiree. They are kept in their own area when we are hosting guests though they love meeting new people. We have a 3 bedroom home and small unit. The gardens are large and there are many fruit trees. We also get fresh eggs most days from our chickens. I love baking so there is a chance you will be able to sample some of it. We both like to ride our bikes, watch T.V and play board games.
When we lived in Auckland we hosted International students which we enjoyed as we like meeting new people.

It was wonderful staying with Angela and her husband and sister. We felt at home from the beginning and had some great conversations with them throughout our stay. They were very helpful answering our questions about things in the area. Breakfast both days was lovely and we were able to pick delicious fresh plums and tangerines to take with us.

These guys are perfect people. It was amazing to stay with them. We didn't got a chance to meet Angela but we met her husband. He is superb. We spoke to Angela over phone and she was very nice too. Our kid got mixed up with him very well and us too. It was fabulous. I would say "A perfect home away from home". Place is also beautiful and location is very nice.

Angela und Howard haben uns sehr freundlich empfangen. Sie sind sehr zuvorkommend. Die Unterkunft im Garten ist für zwei Leute aus unserer Sicht etwas klein.

very good experience.Very friendly landlord, we got very good hospitality. Bed very comfortable, living room, kitchen, bathroom are very clean. Beautiful garden, lovely animals. Rich breakfast. I'd love to come back again. Looking forward to the next meeting.

Being in separate unit was very nice, bed was comfy and the nature around was great.
However, we did not have lots of exchanges with Angela (which is one of the first things we look for when staying at people's homes), the unit was not fully clean (insects and carpet), and it was a little bit small for the two of us.So OK for one (or two) nights, but not for a full week. Also ok for one person.
