I, my wife and daughter arrived on 1st November in NZ for both daughter's school and tour, and we stayed in two hotels in Auckland CBD for 8 nights, but, there were small spaces and all expensive. Then, we stayed in Yvette and Darryl's lovely house for 13 days, and were able to get a full sleep because of both a clean air from the front garden and a peaceful status of mind, like my home, from Yvette's family. We had nothing to request any more to Yvette because all of the house including a fast internet were well prepared and furnished. It also enables every access to Browns bays (including restaurants, supermarkets) within 5 min., Albany within 10 min., and Auckland CBD within 25 min.. In addition, during the stay of 13 days, all of my family's plan and business including the stock were well done. It was a lucky house to me. Again, best wishes for Yvette and Darryl's lovely family and house. Thanks a lot. MS,Lee
