My girlfriend and I had an AMAZING stay at Bob and Cheryl's. Other reviewers said Bob and Cheryl were the nicest hosts they'd encountered--I couldn't agree more! Cheryl drove us to the grocery store and even did a load of laundry for us (though I can't guarantee they can do this for all guests). The house is absolutely beautiful and the backyard is simply stunning. The beach-side location is secluded and beautiful. It's about a 20-minute walk to the nearest train station and then a 15-minute or so ride into downtown Auckland. We loved our stay and would highly recommend to anyone. Bob and Cheryl have only been hosting a few months--give it another year or so and this lovely couple will be superhosts for sure!!!
