Kate was extremely helpful and welcoming, and gave us some great local tips on places to see and good restaurants.

The studio was exceptional! Light, spacious, with high quality fittings throughout and the softest, most comfortable bed. Huge windows let in light from the gorgeous garden, and there are excellent blinds if you want to sleep late and avoid the sunrise.

The location is excellent, on a quiet side street with handy shops and local cafes nearby.

If I'm in Auckland again I'll definitely be checking to see if the studio is available. Staying at Kate's was comfortable, relaxing and a perfect taste of Auckland.
