This was our first BnB experience and really set the bar for hospitality. Sharing the house with Jacqui and Francis gave us a perspective and experience that you would not get in being a room number at a hotel. The location is pristine and the scenery is a rarity in Auckland. The stories shared between J&F and ourselves resulted in a lot of laughs and genuine friendships formed. I'd recommend them as a host if you're wanting to understand what to do in NZ during your travels. They're very well versed in NZ culture and history and beautiful people.
