Nestled in the trees at the rear of her property, Colleen's Garden Studio was an absolutely beautiful place to stay. Waking up to the birds chirping and the sun filtering in through the large corner windows was a great way to start each day. The design and layout of the space works really well, and the finishes are lovely. The studio is perfect for a couple, but we were travelling with our 7 month old, and Colleen kindly provided a cot for him to sleep in.

The area is a fantastic spot to explore on foot with lots of parks and quiet streets for walking. Colleen gave us some great tips for shopping, fresh local produce, restaurants, and coffee shops. She was also able to give us some good advice on where to explore further afield by car.

This was our first trip to Auckland and was a very enjoyable experience. We would be more than happy to stay here again, and wouldn't hesitate in recommending it.

Thanks again Colleen
