Melanie is amazing, the location is amazing, and the bed is amazing. If your making your way to Auckland you MUST stay here. It is close to everything! Black sand beaches, city centre Auckland, countryside, and beautiful bushwalks. Melanie, is so helpful and kind, she offered us a number of local options we would have never found with out her. On top of being close to everything, you have the cutest neighbors, plenty of sheep, llamas and pukeko birds. We will certainly be back.
