Rudie and Lynette's place is wonderful, it truly is like staying in the tree tops, beautiful bush surrounds you along with magnificent glimpses through to Auckland city which are amazing at night (you can even see the sky tower). Auckland city is only a 15 minute bus ride away and local shops not too far ( Rudie was excellent in helping us find the bus stop/shops etc) This couple are amazing hosts they made us feel totally at home and the choices of breakfast provisions they left were so plentiful ( fruit, cereal, delicious cheese bread and yoghart). We hope to come back and visit this little piece of paradise again one day.
