We had a fabulous stay with Jeanette and Gerry and they could not have been any more accommodating! We arrived early in the morning after an international flight and Jeanette helped us to plan our day. The next day she dropped us off at the ferry in Auckland so we could take the ferry to Waiheke Island! The backyard really is wonderful and in low tide we walked along the beach and actually out into the bay. The view of Auckland is breathtaking! We would definitely stay with Jeanette and Gerry again! They were lovely as was their home!
