Guests have the whole upper floor of Din's beautiful house, including a balcony with a spectacular view of the city, to themselves. Newmarket is a great location, just two subway stops away from downtown Auckland, but with enough shops and restaurants of its own, if you don't want to go into the city centre itself. Din provides a wonderful breakfast and supplied useful tips , such as a visit to One Tree Park, for our stay. She made us feel very welcome and we appreciate the time she took to have little chats with us.
