We've visited Auckland, last December and as we where cruise passenger, we had only day in this city so wanted to see as much as possible. We didn't know exactly what to do. We decided to contact Donna, at Coast to Coast, and as she was answering each one of my e-mails so quickly and also taking the time to answer each of my question so carefuly, we've finaly decided to book with them and it was a really good decision. When we've disembark the ship, Stuart (Donna's husband) was already waiting for us and as we where the only two persons who had booked this day, it was a totaly private tour. It was fantastik. Stuart is a very nice man, he is so charming. We've first stoped at the Sky Tower (we where not suppose to go in the city but Stu asked us if we would be interested to see the Tower, which was the case so we where very happy about that) and than, we went to the rainforest, it was absolutely beautiful. After that, Stuart took us to Nobilo winery for a degustation, it was great. Next, we went to the west coast wild beaches.....Wow,it is breathtaking.....and as this tour was totaly private, we could take as much time as we wanted and also we could stop everywhere we wanted. After this great moment, Stuart finaly took us to his sheep farm. Donna was waiting for us and after a nice Maori welcoming, we've started the visit of the farm. It was so interesting. Donna had prepared many bottles of milk so we could feed the lamb......what a wonderful moment. They've explained us how the sheepsharing was done and all the products and under products that are made with the wool. We've meet all the members of the family, Girly (a new born lamb) and also BooBoo, a huge sheep, and also all the other animals, birds and dogs. Donna takes care of everyone so carefuly, she is her mother. After the visit of the farme, Donna and Stu made us visit their home and Donna had prepared many good things to eat.....her Pavlova dessert is so good and as it was my husbands' birthday, she even had the delicate attention of offering him a birthday gift. As the time was going fast the and end of the day arriving, Stuart drove us back to the ship after this wonderful day. We totaly recommand Donna and Stuart if you want to taste a sample of everything Auckland has to offer and if you dont have many days in that city.
