We only stayed one night in Fay's lovely Parnell home, and having realised that the stay was too short, we are choosing to come back and stay for another three nights this week. We love the charm and character of Fay's guest wing, and it certainly seems reflective of a full and interesting life of the occupant. We chose Parnell because it was a trip down memory lane for Daryl, who used to live in this stylish close-to-the-city suburb of Auckland. For anyone wanting to explore all directions of Auckland, and for those needing to be close to Auckland for business purposes, this location is ideal.
