Jeannette and Gerry were wonderful hosts. Coming from Germany, we spent our five first nights in New Zealand at their place. What we wanted was to find a place where we could cope with the jet lack and where we could get some rest. What we found was much more than that. Jeannette and Gerry made us we feel welcomed, offered every possible comfort and gave us more advice about what to do around Auckland than we ever could have done.

Travelling with our infant son, they arranged a high chair, did not once complain about the noise he sometimes made, and even took care of him for an hour to allow us to go kayaking.

Our stay at the Waterfront Paradise (whereas the name is no overstatement) was just great and the best start for our New Zealand trip. If one wants to stay in Auckland we would recommend the place of Jeannette and Gerry as our first choice.
