Our experience began with Kate meeting us curbside on our early morning arrival. After freshening up in her bathroom, (most welcome after a 12 hour flight) she provided us with directions for great coffee , bus info and Auckland recommendations for our first day! Excellent for sleep deprived travelers. All the "fixins"for a continental breakfast were provided . We would love to return for another visit. Don't miss dinner at Siostra's, on the best 50 Auckland list.
