Very kind and gentle hosts, Jeanette and Gerry. Had nice conversations on a couple of occasions. Told me more about Auckland and places to visit in NZ. House itself is on the water and has lovely views. Morning breakfast is a tasty, healthy spread laid out by J. Thank you. Bedroom and bathroom are perfect with clean and comfy bed and linen. They introduced me to some good NZ wines from Otago. Thank you.
Getting to and from CBD was a bit of a trek, given road works on the NW motorway and cricket. 20 km to CBD. That was the only difficulty I faced, but the place made up for the distance.
