I can't say anything negative about my stay with Ngaire & Tony. Me and my mates got way more than we expected. Ngaire is unbelievably hospitable and will help you out if you're in any need of it. Shes unbelievably selfless. The pictures do not give this place justice. We only found out they had a pool / hot tub when we got there and that kitchen is glorious.
It is a bit further away from Auckland City Centre but it's exactly what we wanted so we could prep our big NZ road trip. We ll definitely be back before leaving the country!
