"Kevin and Trish and wonderful hosts -- willing to take us to the supermarket and Trish gave us a lift into Auckland. Their house is well located a 5-10 minute drive from city center and close to walks along the shore and up into the amazing neighborhood homes. Breakfast was amazing. There's a bus that goes right into the city. Very handy with the quiet of the suburbs."

"I am responding to a card from you regarding our recent stay at a B&B in New Zealand. We stayed 3/26-29 at the Nautical Nook and had a wonderful time. Our hosts were accommodating, greeting us at 7:00 a.m. on our arrival day, taking us for a wonderful sailboat cruise on the bay and making the entire time pleasurable. They were a fount of knowledge regarding Auckland and the North Island area! We'd love to do it again!!"

She gives pure New Zealand charm along with delicious food and even gave me a tour of Auckland and pick up and drop-off to sail on an America's Cup boat! Her knowledge of the area, coupled with her graciousness, make this B&B a sailor girl's dream!"

Comfy beds, 5 star meals and even a twilight cruise to Rangitoto.<br>We are on the last lap of a 3 year adventure and Auckland is a memorable city because of you and you lovable dog Shamus. Thanks for your generosity and spontaniety. Stay fresh and happy."
