Gerry and Jeanette's house was just wonderful! Incredibly clean, quiet and peaceful and right by the water. At first glance it seems off the beat and path but from the patio you gaze upon downtown Auckland-just great. There's a great connection via bus to downtown, totally easy to find! As for the hosts, they took their time to talk to me about my questions and were more like friends than anything else. I felt at home, away from home. They are great people, and it's a shame we live so far away and cant visit in the near future. Thank you so much!
