Jack's place was the perfect launch pad for a quick getaway to explore the city. Seamless communication and arrival were appreciated, and he was quick to offer recommendations. Proximity to the bus stop was major plus when arriving from the airport, smooth sailing. I had the pleasure of meeting his parents, Joseph and Ellen, who are wonderful. An unexpected bonus, being so close to Skycity made it easy to find my way back while exploring on foot because of it's visibility. I was able to squeeze in Waiheke, Mount Eden Summit, Wairera, Toi o Tāmaki Art Gallery, Albert Park, some fun times at Skycity, even Mission Bay and St. Heliers. Nearby Glass Goose reataurant is perfect for morning coffee or pancakes. Being able to dash up, change, etc. from a central location close to the pier was just what I had hoped. I'm sure you will enjoy your stay at Jack's!
