Our flights into Auckland was delayed and we arrived way after midnight. Our hosts included transport details and turn-by-turn directions in our booking so that made life much easier.

We slept in the next day (advantage of B&B) and had Breakfast (Brunch) with an amazing view of Auckland Harbour (both Skytower and Harbour Bridge in full view). The weather was awesome and we spent a good few hours exploring Auckland Zoo with our 6 y.o. We had a lovely home cooked meal that night and were off to bed early.

The next day was a very early start as we had a full day with Glow Worm Caves and Rotorua tour. It was a very long day and well worth the 13 odd hours bus trip. On Wednesday we visited Waiheke and on Thursday we toured Devonport. On Friday we spent sometime walking around the area where we stayed before being picked up by our Airport Transfer (door to door).

Overall we had really good weather and we enjoyed our first visit to New Zealand very much. Gerry and Jeanette made our trip so much easier.

If there was a People's Choice B&B award, Gerry and Jeanette definitely deserve our vote.
