My husband and I kicked off our honeymoon by staying at Carl’s house for 2 nights and it was perfect. The house is beautiful, the room was large and the bed was very comfortable. I loved that the room had AC (it was pretty humid and this was nice at night), and giant blackout curtains that helped us sleep in a bit and adjust to the time change.
No other guests were there, so we had the bathroom to ourselves, which was great. The water pressure was excellent. Everything was very clean and tidy. It was rainy while we were there so we didn’t have a chance to lounge by the pool, but it provided a beautiful view out the windows.
The location is amazing! 1 block from Ponsonby Road, which has tons of great restaurants, cafes (our faves were Salta and Little Bird Organics - both breakfast), and cute shops. We rented a car so didn’t take public transportation, but navigating to the house was very easy, as was the parking.
Carl and Min are wonderful hosts, giving us suggestions on what to do and places to go. They are warm and welcoming and fun to talk to. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
