I had an extended staycation at Gary and Lorraine’s place in Devonport for a few weeks when I was in between permanent accommodation. Gary and Lorraine were very welcoming and made everything so easy for me. The apartment was very modern, clean, comfortable and spacious, with water views from the lounge and balcony area. It’s safe and convenient, with many great cafes and restaurants not too far away. It’s close to some of Auckland’s best beaches, so I recommend walks to check out the local area – I got some great sunrise pics of Rangitoto at the beach across the road. I was able to use Gary and Lorraine’s laundry facilities, and they were very helpful in ensuring I had everything I needed. Home baked cookies were a lovely treat, along with freshly picked flowers from the garden. The apartment is underneath their house, and very private. I’d definitely recommend a stay at Gary & Lorraine’s place!
