We enjoyed our stay at Milo’s house. We’ve given full privacy & the place is peaceful. You can walk along at the Buffalo beach road to enjoy the stunning Mercury Bay sea view in the morning.

Nice place to stay good food on a night close by.

Arrived to be met by Pandora, the lady of the house wagging her tail and offering to let me rub her belly. Being a dog lover and missing my dog at home for me it was the best welcome I could have had. Once we had settled in Milo allowed me to take Pandora for a walk which after a 4 hr drive was just what I needed. The house was clean and I really enjoyed Milo and Pandora company.

Came for 2 nights, stayed for 5. Located in a quiet suburb location, while just ~10 min walk from the town center. Milo is a really great host, providing an experience of HOMEstay, not just a B&B or an anonymous hotel or smth :).

Alles in allem ein netter Aufenthalt, aber auch unser teuerster auf der ganzen Rundreise. Lage war für uns gut, kommt halt drauf an wo man hinmöchte/ weiter möchte. Es ist alles ordentlich und auch nett eingerichtet. Aber die Wände sind halt wie Papier und dafür das man sich das Bad teilen muss, weil man einfach ein Zimmer in einem kleinen Haus hat, ist der Preis einfach zu hoch. Milo ist super nett und Pandora ein lieber Schatz!
