Stay Wild NZ hosts understand that it's both a responsibility and a privilege to welcome guests to their property, as well as to their local community. No matter who they are or where they come from all of our guests are respected and appreciated, and the fundaments of manaakitanga underpin everything we do to help our guests feel this on a deep and authentic level.

Stay Wild NZ businesses are industry leaders that demonstrate a high level of professionalism. Positive, proactive leadership underpins a cohesive team culture, where all staff-members are well-trained, valued and empowered.
