A very welcoming host

This batch was perfect for our short stay. It was clean and very well presented. The garden was lovely and we were able to relax in comfort. The pigeon in the tree was entertaining! Annie our host was incredibly helpful and could not have been more welcoming. We loved this place.

About the host

Hosted by Annie Hormann

Host profile image

My late husband and I have been sailing half around the world ( with a 14 years stop-over in Tahiti and its islands) to find this quiet place in the heart of the Bay of Islands.
My husband offered our Boat" Kleiner Baer II" for charter and I managed a small resort hotel on Moorea. We purchased Aimeo Cottage in 1991 and have enjoyed hosting guests from all over the world since 1992.
I like swimming, sailing, golfing, gardening, reading, good food and wine together with friends. I would be happy to welcome you here at the Aimeo!
