“Very Friendly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 April 2013

We very much enjoyed our stay. Avril and Ron made us feel welcome and very much at home. We even met their grandchildren. The rooms here are very pleasant and the beds comfortable. Would definitely recommend Tru North to everyone.

“Great place and greater hospitality!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 April 2013

We stayed with Ron & Avril on 2 & 3 April 2013. They were delightful and helpful hosts. Their place is very clean and well maintained. Whilst it's not exactly in the city, if you are driving, it is only a 20 minutes drive from city centre. Also, they provide dinner at a reasonable cost and it tastes way better... More

Clean, tidy, and comfortable house with wonderful hosts Ron and Avril. I will definitely return to Tru North if I travel up north in future. Perfect short term accommodation for Massey students attending block/contact course in Massey Albany campus.
