Jeanette & Gerry are the most amazing people. So warm, helpful and so friendly. When I arrived late in the evening after 35 hours of flight from Paris (without luggage; got lost) they received me like family with a glass of wine and cheese...and helped me for everything, rental car, luggage...You just feel like at home, when you arrive at their beautiful place. Great bedrooms and a very clean and spacious bathroom. A wonderful house overlooking the bay and Auckland. Everything is just perfect. The breakfast is better than in a 5 star hotel. Jeanette is a very good cook, Gerry knows so many things. It's a pleasure to share their company. You couldn't find a better place to start your New Zealand experience... Thank you so much Ulrike
