If you're looking for a homestay with the family, then this is a great one. Upon arrival we were greeted by Philip's mother-in-law and sister-in-law who went out of their way to make sure we were welcomed into the home and had everything we needed. Philip and his wife Pritty also went out of their way to welcome us into their home and make us as comfortable as possible. It is a beautiful, quiet home that has recently been updated with the latest in appliances and comforts. It is about a 2 minute walk to the bus stop with easy connections to the rail to the central business district (downtown Auckland) and other areas. We arrived tired and in need of a nice place to stay and we left with hugs and new friends. Our schedule didn't allow us the opportunity to have dinner with them while we were there but I did get a good look at some good old fashioned Mauritus home cooking from Philip's mother-in-law. If only we had one more day...
