This is a fabulously character-laden bungalow just off Ponsonby Road. Comfortable accommodation for 5 adults with 2 doubles and one single bedroom. Everything you need for your home away from home is right here.
Auckland is extremely hilly so be ready to walk and get fitter doing it.
The Countdown is an excellent supermarket to get you all sorted so you do t spend all your cash on eating out. It’s great to do, but you can run through your cash quickly at $5 for one cup of coffee.
Recommended: Ponsonby Road has a fabulous fish and chip shop called Hook. Ming and his wife run it. He starts at 4am with his bakery (you have to be quick because there is a LOT of demand for their bread!), then it’s fish and chips. I’m English and I take my fish and chips very seriously as I have lived in Canada for 19 years and they just can’t do it the same there. Ming’s fish was like a heavenly taste of home; it’s perfect every time. I went a lot because it was irresistible. And try the pineapple fritters too - amazing! They are really lovely people; my last meal was from Hook and Ming came out to give me a hug as I was leaving the chippy. Lovely people.
New Zealand gets into your soul. You can’t help it. The people are friendly and genuine, the landscape is wonderful. I plan to return and stay again at 22 Norfolk Street. Thanks Jason and Eric!
