Annie was so helpful! She invited us to a fun local Dragon Boat Festival. She also helped us discover great, free places to see around Hamilton.
Meet your hosts
Hello from
Annie & Isaac.
We’re the people behind Gazeley Gem. We want you to feel welcome, know what to expect, and have a comfortable place to return to at the end of the day.
Annie
Hospitality from the start.
Annie grew up in Kunming, China, where her mother managed a hotel. She went on to study tourism management at Lincoln University, bringing that hospitality background to the way she hosts today.
Annie speaks Mandarin and is happy to help with local recommendations when she can.
Isaac
A local perspective.
Isaac grew up in Hamilton. While studying graphic design at the University of Waikato, he worked at The Narrows Landing Hotel, gaining hands-on experience behind the scenes.
Today, that local knowledge helps guests find their feet, whether the trip is for work, family or a few days away.
Small details. A thoughtful stay.
A useful answer before you arrive. Clear instructions. A local idea when you need one. That’s the kind of hosting we aim for at Gazeley Gem.
If you are planning a longer stay or have a particular access or parking need, tell us before booking so we can help you work out whether the townhouse is the right fit. Read our longer stays guide and arrival details for more practical context.
Guest reviews
In guests’ words
Isaac and Annie are the kindest, most responsive and helpful hosts we have come across. My husband was ill while we stayed at Gazeley’s Gem and they gave us generous flexibility around check-in and check-out to cater to his needs.
Annie is a thoughtful and attentive host who made us feel right at home. Annie’s local tips were spot-on too. She recommended we try ice cream at the Ruakura Berry Shop, and it did not disappoint—one of the highlights of our short trip!
