Staying with Jeannette and Gerry was outstanding! My wife and I stayed there for 2 nights. The place is very quiet and in an absolutely safe neighborhood. traveled to Taupo to participate in the 2013 Ironman New Zealand. They both were very friendly and helped us with everything. The place itself is embedded in a beautiful surrounding, you basically live directly at the sea. Lots of places to eat out nearby; I'd definitely stay there again, if I'm in Auckland, so I can recommended the place 100%.
