Thanks again for a great stay! They were kind enough to take us near the stadium and to the airport for a little extra money. Will be back again!

Charlene was very accommodating and had everything we needed. Cute and clean house with nice pets. Location was convenient to Mt. Smart stadium, taking about 35 minutes to walk there. Traffic and construction a bit noisy in the morning, but that's not her fault, just the city noise. Room was cool and breezy with the windows open. We'll be back again in a week and a half for another concert. Charlene is a very cheerful and positive person and lovely to be around.

Sue and Ash were THE BEST hosts ever! They were so nice and Sue's smile and laugh are beautiful. They went out of their way to take me and pick me up from places even though the bus was down the street. They invited me along with family for dinner and they also gave me the privacy I needed in their house. The bed was super comfy and since they didn't have another guest with them, I had the bathroom all to myself. The bedroom had a nice flat screen tv, plenty of room to store my stuff (almost too much). They were helpful about the bus schedule and things to do in the area. The bathroom was nice and big. Their kitchen was great and had everything I needed and often they invited me to eat with them. They aren't super close to town but the bus is convenient and goes straight there without having to switch buses (unless it's later in the day). There is a shopping mall close to home which they frequent pretty often so I was able to catch rides with them there and the bus also goes there. Has everything you could need. I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area. Don't hesitate to stay here!! Thanks for everything, y'all!!

I stayed 3 nights with Myra. She was able to pick me up from the airport for $10 and was there on time which was appreciated. Being that it was a Sunday evening that I was coming in and there are no grocery stores nearby, she offered to pick me up a couple of things so I could have breakfast in the morning. When I got into the room, it was of sufficient size and was happy to see a trash can, kleenex, a fan on the wall and 4 pillows. I found the bed to be too hard for my liking and since there are no screens on the windows, mozzies were in the room along with a lot of small ants on the desk and chest of drawers for no particular reason. She did provide some kind of mozzie repellent that smokes when plugged in but I wasn't up for inhaling that. It's always a bit of a worry when you see ear plugs provided and I understand why they were. The road noise was very bad at night and in the morning. No sleeping in, She took me for a walk with the dog the next morning to show me the beach and bush walk. I was under the impression that the beach would only be 5 minutes (the ad does say 'sea') but it was a rock wall instead. The beach was really a 20+ minute more walk and the water wasn't that great. I never even went back. There is a jabiru stork in the bush by the water so that was great to see. There were people fishing off the bridge by the river, so a great place for that if you like to fish. Pros: Bus stop around the corner goes into town without having to switch buses and takes about 20+ minutes for $3.10 Nice yard with fruit trees Dog was quiet, hardly knew he was there Host offered to help look for tours to reef Good circulation in the room but luckily it was cool here at night Fast internet connection Cons: Noisy location Lacking privacy in the bathroom as all doors are open with only sheer curtains (toilet does have an actual door) Host was inconsiderate of noise level late at night with loud tv and banging around in kitchen at midnight once Doors on bedroom don't cut down any noise in the house Kitchen was dirty, ants everywhere, fridge in disarray and mold on tiles in bathroom Grocery not close, must go into town House is not closed up at all which is disconcerting when you keep all of your valuables here but it doesn't appear she leaves too much during the day and I assume crime is very low (but how would one know that who is visiting?) Was told I couldn't do laundry except at night because she sells her electricity during the day. Isn't that what my daily rate goes toward?

Nan was a wonderful hostess...her partner picked me up at the airport and even showed me around the city a little bit. They both offered to drive me places within the city which was only a few minutes away. She was very kind and I wouldn't hesitate staying with her again.
