Colin and Lynn have a beautiful home in a nice quiet remote location. The small town is within a small walk or drive and the city is within view and a short inexpensive uber drive. We were beyond satisfied with our stay here over accommodations at a hotel. Amenities were above and beyond, beautiful decor, comfy beds, clean sheets, towels, glassware, cookware, washing machines and dryer. Colin and Lynn were the most gracious hosts, very easy to communicate with and guide us in our stay. Their hospitality made our stay in Auckland everything we wished for and more. We would highly recommend a stay here, the bar is set high for other Airbnbs.
