There are bad hosts, good hosts, excellent hosts and then there's Bruce and Linda who are in a category all on their own. We felt right at home with their warm welcome. Linda cooked a superb meal on our first night and they joined us for dinner which was just wonderful. On the second night, they took my companion Cathy out for a night on the town and a tour of Auckland while I had a restful night in which included a long soak in that luxury bath. They even supplied a rubber duckie for the bath! The next day Linda took us on a fascinating tour of the alpaca farm. We learned so much. They truly are amazing people with so much joy and enthusiasm. I mustn't forget to mention the beautiful home, tastefully furnished, spotlessly clean and amazing gardens surrounded by a beautiful landscape. I would seriously like to move in! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in the Auckland district. Thank you again, Bruce and Linda.
