I had a really enjoyable stay with Carl and Min in their lovely colonial villa. They were wonderful hosts … they opened their full home to me and made my few days with them very comfortable and a restful retreat from they city. The room is warm, spacious and very tasteful, which is also very true for the whole house and garden (with beautiful swimming pool, though unfortunately the weather wasn't playing along when I was there). Located between Ponsonby Road and the CBD, it’s a few minutes walk from Ponsonby’s great eating options and an easy walk or bus ride into many parts of the town. Heartily recommended!
