We stayed in the cosy and comfortable main house which has 3 bedrooms, a bathroom, toilet and laundry on the entry level and living, dining, kitchen and another toilet upstairs. We enjoyed opening the French doors of both the dining and lounge area, allowing a welcoming breeze to blow through. A separate cottage in the backyard contains the 4th bedroom, bathroom and a sitting area. The house was stylishly well equipped with lots of thoughtful touches, eg Nespresso coffee machine, soda water machine and heaps of stylish crockery, glasses, serving dishes, cookware etc. It was a pleasure to cook and relax at home, particularly with a young grandson as we couldn't be out all the time.
We arrived on New Year's Eve and were able to view the fireworks at the Sky Tower which was a treat. You will need a car when you stay but it's a short walk to good restaurants and up market shops in Ponsonby Rd.
Carla was great communicating with us before, during and after our stay. It was a good start to our 2 weeks NZ holiday.
