Jan made us feel welcome from the moment we met her. She was sick with a head cold but that didn't seem to slow her down in the least. She was helpful with information and directions to our rental car turn-in site and also to a wonderful local restaurant for dinner. Her home was simply spectacular, cantilevered on the side of a hill with a view of Auckland harbor through walls of floor to ceiling windows. Even our en suite bedroom had floor to ceiling windows. The decorating was worthy of a magazine. We had a comfortable night and a good "serve-yourself" style breakfast the next morning, exactly what we prefer. This B&B was perfect in every way, and we would recommend Jan's hospitality to anyone traveling to Auckland.
