Genuine kiwi hospitality
New Zealanders have a reputation for being warm and hospitable. We invite you to try our fresh way for homestay - more like home than a hotel. Our 'Virtual Hotel' has rooms all over New Zealand to suit business travellers, cyclists, walkers and holiday makers. We also have a special selection of homes for those travelling for day surgery, treatments, job relocations, or visiting elderly relatives.

Why Homestay?
Offering privacy and security for women travelling alone or social interaction if you (and your partner) want to escape for the weekend and do something a bit different. All our hosts have great local knowledge to create a memorable yet affordable stay.
Feel 'at home' or be 'looked after'. All our homes and hosts are quality checked.
Meals, email, laundry, parking, great coffee or a glass of wine - availability varies. Please check with your host - some of these are complimentary or reasonably priced.
Whatever your travel needs or budget
We think that standards are important, so we personally check each of our rooms and hosts and assign them to one of three levels of accommodation.
- Basic (1 - 2 star equivalent): Usually single rooms in modest homes ($45 - $75) or basic facilities such as our Chalets on the Cycle Trail in Napier. Limited email access or meal options.
- Classic: (3 - 4 star Equivalent) Quality homes, modern decor, beautifully furnished and appointed. From $75 to $145. Breakfast included, quality tea and coffee. Many have own bathroom facilities, e-mail, laundry facilities and meal options available. This represents 80% of our current homes and hosts.
- Premium: (5 star equivalent) Our most luxurious properties with breathtaking views, stylishly appointed for our most discerning guests. From $145 through to $250 per night. Utterly delightful.
