We‘ve stayed three nights in Gretchen‘s beautyful house and enjoyed every second. We loved the style of the house, everything is new and very clean. The surrounding is very quiet but after a short walk we were right in the middle of wunderful lively Ponsonby Road with it‘s cute shops and lots of restaurants and cafés. Even the Sky Tower is in walking distance.
Have a look in Gretchen‘s recommendations, we enjoyed two dinners at Farina‘s with our two little children.
