A spectacular AirBNB stay! Ian and Yvonne offered up all sorts of suggestions and such before I even arrived, but in spite of all the new highway construction going on in the Auckland area, I was able to successfully navigate my way to the beautiful home. The accommodations were smart and crisp, and it was clear they had attended to every conceivable detail. My hosts went beyond measure to make me feel welcome in their own home, and I certainly did. So much so that I am going to stay with them again when I come back through Auckland before heading back home to the States ! What I am pleased most about is the absolute affirmation that staying in a B&B is tremendous way to travel, and if you personally connect with your hosts, then hospitality is taken to the next level, as it was here. These are people I would and will gladly invite to my own home were they ever to make a trek to Texas!
