Joanna and Ian are wonderful hosts and their home is so cozy and comfortable. The bed is very comfortable, the bathroom very clean, the breakfast delicious with homemade bread and muesli. Joanna and Ian were wonderful to talk to over breakfast. The back deck was peaceful to sit on and look out over the trees and other quaint homes. It’s walking distance to ponsonby road shops with great restaurants and shopping. And if you are up for a 20ish minute walk you can get to the city easily by foot. I loved being close enough to walk but not in the hub of the city. Absolutely recommend staying with Joanna and Ian.
