This Parnell Bungalow was an excellent location from which to explore Auckland and as a base to make day trips from. Conveniently located in a nice quiet neighborhood, the bungalow was roomy, well-appointed, and with many thoughtful touches and amenities. We found restaurants, shops, markets and attractions within easy walking distance. It was also pleasant to look out over the bush backing the property and hearing the birdsong. John was a warm, helpful, and accommodating host, communicative and responsive. We actually stayed here twice – at the head and tail ends of our NZ trip, and would not hesitate to do so again.
