We were in Auckland for a month on a family visit and Tricia's studio made a great base. The house is in a quiet cul-de-sac in a very nice neighbourhood close to the shops, cafes and eateries of Herne Bay and within walking distance of buzzy Ponsonby Road. Central Auckland is in easy reach by bus. It's an unfussy, comfortable space with good storage and outlook over the garden. It faces east and the morning sun pours in. Tricia was most helpful and welcoming. Recommended.
