Shane was an exceptional host and his house was the most beautiful home we've visited so far in New Zealand. It was also located in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood which was a huge blessing for us after a long drive north. We woke up next morning and couldn't believe he even prepared breakfast for us which never happened before so we are very grateful and we would definitely recommend Shane's hospitality for anyone and everyone visiting Auckland. We rated the experience a solid 5 out of 5, but realistically speaking if given a choice we'd give Shane 5000 out of 5.
