A lovely viewdown the bay from the balcony as the sun streams through the mature garden in the morning. It quite a breathtaking sight. And not forgetting the sumptious spread of continental breakfast. This exclusive and secluded suburb of Auckland has the olde worlde charm. Some unpretentious Pizzeria like Bona on Ponsonby are a must try.
And most of all, Shivaun and Grant, the gracious hosts who were ever so welcoming and helpful with pointers to make my daughter's and my holidays memorable. They gave us an insightful glimpse of how the real New Zealand people live. A big Thank You.
