Previous Guests
Over ten years we've hosted families relocating to Wellington, guests visiting loved ones, work teams, sports teams, and travellers passing through. Here's what some of them had to say.
Guests over the years.
"Amazing family, wonderful hosts. The help and support they provided to our migrating family went above and beyond any reasonable expectation. We couldn't have done this without them, and I highly recommend anyone moving to the area stay with the Taylor family."
"Taylor family became more than a homestay. They became part of our new New Zealand family. Was our first step in a new life, living in a new country, with a whole new culture and challenges. Being able to count on them made everything easier."
"It is so difficult to put into words our love and gratitude for this amazing family. Anyone who is looking for a home away from home, I cannot recommend this family enough."
"We got a prompt response from the Taylors when we first enquired and they were incredibly helpful with any questions we had, particularly about weekend travel, car hire companies, public transport and SIM cards. This helped us to make plans before we arrived and settle in very quickly."
"I stayed with the Taylor family for over a month, and I had the most wonderful time. They treated me like family. The apartment was very clean and comfortable, and has everything you would need and more."
"Me and my family from Vietnam were visiting Wellington for six weeks and we did not think that we would meet such a cool family like the Taylors. They were so generous and kind and their positive vibe was fantastic. If you are looking for a place to stay and want to get to know how life is going in Wellington, this is the best recommendation I could ever think of. You will never regret it."
"Kersti and her family were delightful hosts, we were very well looked after even when they were overseas. They went above and beyond to ensure the place was suitable for our toddler. Would highly recommend, especially for a long term stay."
"We couldn't have asked for better hosts or more from the facilities, they provided everything we needed. The Taylor family are lovely and will happily share travel stories of their amazing adventures around the world."
"Everything in the house was all fixed with a beautiful atmosphere, surrounded and peaceful, and mostly we can do our private work in our own privacy time without interruption. I just want to give my gratitude to Taylor's family for their beautiful hosts."
"Myself and a few friends were playing at a touch tournament close by and the Taylor family whare was perfect for what we needed. Very comfortable and relaxing with a lot of activities to do."
"These are the Kiwis that you want to meet, the friendliest, most hospitable folks you'll meet. So many details are considered, from extra blankets to snacks upon arrival. Three polite and entertaining kids, tremendous conversation, sharing tales of world travels."
"The space was ideal for our children, who were able to make themselves at home and play with the hosts' children. The Taylors ensured we had everything we needed for a lovely stay in the Wellington region."
"Our kids loved that the house 'came with kids' who included and played with them from the moment we pulled up. Certainly a great rental if you'd like to get to know a local family."
"The hosts provide an assortment of breakfast options and treats, which was well appreciated by the adults and children alike."
"What fantastic hosts. They are such a friendly welcoming family and only too pleased to help with anything. Dwayne fetched us from Wellington airport. It was a quiet neighbourhood so it was tranquil and we were able to sleep peacefully."
"We couldn't recommend this host or spot more. They were fantastic to deal with and happily shared their apartment with us. They went above and beyond, and all the little extras were totally appreciated."
"They do whatever they can to make us comfortable. Drove us to the supermarket, showed us Wellington on the weekend, even drove me to the airport at 4:30am and invited us for dinner."
"It doesn't get any better than this. The home is as described and in excellent shape, you can tell the hosts put all their love into their home and into hosting."
"Thanks Taylor family for warm welcome. Lovely place, warm and nice family. Love this place and family. Surely recommend this place to everyone."
"Charming house in a quiet neighborhood, we had one of our most beautiful stays. We were given a lot of attention, such as breakfast, cakes, juice and fruit upon arrival."
"Thank you for hosting us, we love Taylor's place so much. The house is super clean. Definitely recommend to everyone."
"Great apartment and thoughtful, friendly hosts. Homemade brownie was a special treat! We really enjoyed our stay."
"Great hosts and very helpful if you don't know the area, also thoughtful, beautifully presented place, comfortable beds, spotless with great breakfasts and snacks. We were there for a funeral, it was just what we needed."
"We had a fabulous stay for a whirlwind family Christmas visit to Lower Hutt. Such a great, welcoming family who have put so much thought into their setup and all the extras provided too."
