Heather Hapeta, Wellington
Travel Writer, www.kiwitravelwriter.com
“Luckily, we came across the 'Look After Me' website and immediately related to the philosophy. Sue and Graham were fabulous hosts and quickly became friends. Their home was comfortable and warm; the meals they provided were delicious. The entire experience far exceeded our expectations. Sue and Graham were truly ambassadors for the warm and welcoming people of New Zealand!”
Martel and Bob, U.S.A.
“The accommodation that Look After Me provides is of an extremely high standard, and probably the best value I’ve ever had. I will definitely stay there again.”
Lindsay Evans, Auckland

“We were thrilled to be able to find such affordable accommodation at short notice. We even shared an evening meal with them. They have a 3-hole golf course on their property, as well as a tennis court. Their property is absolutely beautiful. We’ve already re-booked for later in the year.”
Kirsty and Family, Auckland
“I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Annie. When she greeted me at the door she had this beautiful smile, that put me at ease straight away. I would rate my Look After Me experience as 10/10. Annie was an excellent hostess, and so welcoming. The apartment was immaculate, and she even offered me dinner which was lovely. The Look After Me products were a nice surprise and excellent touch of flair. I would definitely stay with her again.”
Tania, Picton
“I was pleasantly surprised. It was very modern and private. It was right by the lake so the setting was idyllic. We even had our all-day business meeting there. It was definitely a bonus not having to pay extra for email, parking or a decent coffee!”
Irene Kereama-Royal, Hamilton
"It was so different but definitely what I needed. A sort of 'Mum and Dad' substitute. The room was stunning! So clean, so welcoming.
Caroline, guest in Papamoa

Sue is very talented: singing, painting, cooking and love kids so much! Bill is diligent let us visit his secret air-model house. My baby had a good time there and was too excited to sleep. We played the game "Chicken Feet" together. We enjoyed the stay in the house!
