We arrived in the afternoon at this lovely place. Once you step into the house you'll have to homey feeling, which is pretty nice when you're so far away from home. You'll be welcomed by the cute dog Baz! Anne has been a great host and the room upstairs was magnificient. The stay has a delicious breakfast included, which is really good! So much to choose from. Overall it's been a great stay and the location is in a nice suburb from auckland. You can catch the bus to Takapuna or catch the ferry to Auckland CBD! Recommend!
