Absolutely brilliant place to stay. A real home from home, which is just what we needed after a long flight. Sue was so helpful, showing us all the bits in the kitchen that we needed. On our last day, as we planned our trip, we asked her for advice and guidance on places to go, and she shared her best tips, especially for biking trails.
Flossy (the dog) and Raz (the cat) were super friendly. They often said hello each day but then would go and relax in the garden. We often called them over to give them fuss, but sometimes they wouldn't stay. If you're not a fan of pets, you can keep them out of your room easily.
It's a short walk to the bus stop, which takes you into the city in 20 minutes. Very peaceful location with nearby parks to explore as well as a supermarket for food.
We hope to stay with Sue again when we return to Auckland.
