Lynda and Gary are amazing hosts. They welcome you to their home so graciously and are happy to share stories of their travels, which are extensive (check the refrigerator for proof). They also provide everything you could ever want or need in such a beautiful home. Transportation is located at the end of the street and it is a quick bus ride into Auckland city, but Green Bay is a lovely part of town to explore as well. Also, their cats, Biscuit and Cookie, are delightful. Definitely stay with them if you can!
