Penelope and Paul were very hospitable and helped us out whenever they could. The space itself was perfect for the 9 days we were there. We had enough space to cook a decent meal every night and also had the option to sit out in the reserve behind the garden to eat in the evening sun. Auckland CBD is around 45mins to an hour walk, with frequent buses running only a few minutes away as well.
We had just arrived into New Zealand and this was the first place we stayed whilst we got our work sorted and bought a van. It was a perfect base for us and we would recommend it to anyone.
