Hospitality Description: Kia ora! We’re delighted to offer hospitality in our home whenever we can. One of us works from home, so please note we won’t be as available during standard work hours. However, from 4pm onward, our two little ones join us, and we’d love to share meals and connect with you. We’re more than happy to provide local tips, advice, and recommendations for exploring Aotearoa New Zealand. We look forward to welcoming you!

Happy to provide information about New Zealand, meet for a coffee or catch up in Auckland

Feedback

  • Tanya and her family were great guests. Tanya communicated well and even though we have a cleaner she ensured the apartment was left even better and cleaner than she found it. Her family were so kind and left us a souvenir from New Zealand. I would happily have them stay again. Hopefully we get to visit New Zealand and meet in person next time. Thanks Tanya!

Tanya

Hello PLU family! We're thrilled to introduce ourselves as a New Zealand-based family eager to explore new places with our littles. We love to travel, in fact my husband and I met traveling in Peru in 2015. He is a Filipino-Kiwi and I am a Venezuelan-Trini/British born in Canada, fast-forward today and we are married, living in New Zealand with 2 amazing explorers 4 & 5. We stay in Auckland New Zealand. The multi-cultural hub of food and wine, music, art and culture, this city offers stunning natural beauty and kind people all around. Our community is very family friendly and welcoming, with some of the best neighbours we've had the pleasure of meetings. We look forward to connect with you and meet other likeminded travelers! We are open to offering our home for hospitality stays and are always on the look out for new places to explore with our littles.
