Anyone would love to stay in Ruth and Barry's place. Neighborhood is quiet, near a shopping mall with outlet stores, also near a park and the bus stop and train station. You don't feel away from home because it is home- clean, has a nice garden, there are lots of books and a world map which reminds you that you still have to go back to your home country but in the meantime enjoy Auckland and Ruth and Barry's home. Ruth and Barry are gracious hosts even to our guests. They even let us bring home their all natural home made honey. We would love to be back to see them again and given the chance to stay in their home again.
