Gill was a very welcoming host - warm and friendly. Her home is beautifully decorated and we had a very comfortable stay. There is a lovely patio at the back (and the front!) where you can have your morning cup of tea or in our case, a glass of wine in the evening! The location is brilliant - close to lots of bars and restaurants, and a 30 min walk to the harbour. We would definitely recommend booking Gill's place if you find yourself in Auckland.
