Perfect! Melanie and Douglas are the most warm and friendly hosts, have a lovely house in which we felt at home, and they were happy to spend a lot of their time giving us some local Auckland tips as well as suggestions for our driving itinerary! It’s also easy to get around the city from their place, yet it’s on a quiet side street so you get a great night’s sleep - much needed if like us you just got off a long haul flight!
