Peter and Judy were great hosts. We felt very welcome. They were very friendly and helpful. (They were available but invisible....so we felt very private.) When our friends dropped us off they were very impressed also - and will recommend Peter and the studio to other friends who visit.
Ponsonby is a is a trendy, interesting area with lovely architecture, cafes and shops just metres away and a (maybe 15 minute?) walk into the harbour and city of Auckland. "Awesome"!
The studio itself was excellent; sparkling new and clean, larger than we expected, beautifully decorated and with all the thoughtful touches....including lots of towels! A very comfy bed and a very quiet area - bliss! Our local friends were happily surprised with the value - as are we.
Ponsonby itself is a trendy, interesting area with lovely architecture.
We definitely recommend the hosts, the area and the property and will stay there on our next trip "across the ditch".
