My daughter and I stayed for 2-weeks. We were very comfortable. Huguette was very helpful in getting us situated and she had a well stocked mini-kitchen for our use. Having a private entrance was great and the bus stop was only 2-blocks away. It was a direct 35-min. Bus ride to Auckland city. Washing dishes in bathroom sink was a bit difficult, but manageable. Only a TV monitor, but we had an Amazon fire stick with us which gave us access to programming via the Internet. Overall, I would recommend staying at Huguette's.
