About the host
Hosted by Monika & Rolf
We are a Swiss couple living in New Zealand since 2009. We love the outdoors, gardening, and good food, and we enjoy hosting people at our tranquil property and providing a relaxing experience.
Why they chose this property
We cherish living on our Swiss-Kiwi property, and a semi-rural lifestyle is our best place, not too far away but away from the noise and traffic. We love growing our organic vegetables and tropical fruits and having adorable animals like two cats and two chooks.
What makes this property unique
You will feel grounded and relaxed, or you can book our hydromassage spa pool for more profound relaxation or gazing at the stars at night. You also might get some homemade yogurt or jam for breakfast.
