A quiet, peaceful home, with lovely wood furniture, floors and furniture. Great facilities, loved the bathroom! A helpful host, offering to take me to the shops for food, when torrential rain occurred...Lovely 'leafy' residential area. Easy walking distance (10 mins) to train station, into Auckland centre approx 15 mins. Not too far to walk, to large shopping mall St Lukes. Buses run regularly in both directions, near by, though I never used a bus from house, enjoying the walk. Really enjoyed my stay at this home! Would love to return to see more of Auckland .....
