Meet your hosts Shami & Dave McRae and their 2 cats, "Lucky" the maître d' and "Blanca" the Queen 

Shami and Dave McRae are a married couple who have lived in Rotorua for over 13 years. Prior to that, they balanced their time between Auckland and California (USA). They have six children and eleven grandchildren spread across the globe, and really enjoy travelling abroad whenever they get the chance. Both of us are passionate about meeting and hosting people.

Shami loves cooking. If you are fortunate enough to book an evening meal with Shami, you are in for a gourmet delight served with a glass of their finest wine. Breakfasts are an extra but always available. You have the option of continental or Shami's famous homestyle cooked breakfast. Other meals including fine dining can be available on request.

Dave loves a good chat. He knows Rotorua like the back of his hand and works in tourism, so if you are wanting to know the best things to do, he would be more than happy to provide recommendations.​

"Lucky" the maître d' is very friendly and engaging, and will on most occasions meet and greet guests. If there is anything you need to know just ask Lucky. "Blanca" she just looks pretty and is the Queen. no more needs to be said.
