This lovely old English house is a great get away with a beautifully lit room and adorable and kind hosts.
A hop skip and a jump to Mt Eden mini hike and a longer costal walk. Right down the street from Mt Eden’s Village and quite a few little restaurants. Beautiful sunsets too!
I highly recommend this place if you want to be close to Auckland DT but not IN a city. Smaller town, less traffic, walkable and safe is more my vibe and this was exactly that.
Just note it’s cold in winter! Pack accordingly!! They have a heater in the room and electric blankets, all must go off at night while you sleep but I stayed nice and toasty in the warm blankets themselves.
