We stayed here on our last night of a 3wk trip in New Zealand, and it was the perfect spot to end our trip. We are a family of 4, so took our 2 boys for a run around in the fab local park after the long car ride down to Auckland. We then walked into Ponsonby and had a great dinner out, then walked home. All slept like logs in the very comfy beds (not too hard, not too soft; gorgeous linens!). Powerful and hot shower in the morning. Then we were off to the airport. We will definitely stay again on our way in or out of Auckland. Lovely place!
PS. The location really is perfect, but also the setting. It has a little walled garden with big outdoor table, and you feel like you're a million miles away from the city.
PPS. Gerard, one of the hosts, was fab:-).
