Gerry and Jeannette are terrific hosts! While their home is far from the city center (renting a car is highly recommended as Auckland is very big city), you won't regret staying with them. I couldn't think of a more beautiful spot that is peaceful and overlooking the city and harbor. More importantly, both of them embody what hosting should be. They ensured that our stay was comfortable and were attentive even to the little details. Jeanette prepared wonderful breakfast everyday and we enjoyed talking with them, sharing our views and backgrounds. Lastly, they gave us a lot of tips and suggestions to help us navigate around Auckland. I would definitely stay with them again should I ever visit Auckland in the future!
