Wonderful room, wonderful hosts, beautiful town, and a perfect example of why hotels are losing business! I had a very quiet and charming stay in the fully appointed and comfortable room with new furnishings and bathroom. I chose to walk to town with so many beautiful homes, parks, friendly people (and dogs) along the way. Charming town with may places to eat and enjoy the lifestyle. Bus stop is close to the "no exit" street so if the weather is not your favorite, you have options. Go and enjoy, I will definitely stay there if I find myself in Auckland again!
