We stayed at Betsy and Leigh's apartment for our first month moving to Auckland. We couldn't have picked a better place! The apartment is compact but surprisingly spacious - the whole layout has been very well thought out, so it never felt cramped for the two of us.

We arrived late at night and Betsy was super flexible and helpful, leaving us breakfast for the next morning. The whole time we were there both Betsy and Leigh went out of their way to help with any questions we had, without being intrusive, and it was pleasure to meet them and stay in their house.

The apartment is in immaculate condition, everything was very new and spotlessly clean. It's so quiet and peaceful down there and you can't beat the view over the reserve, Pukekos visiting on the lawn, Kingfishers and lots of other birds. At the time, it's close to transport (train and buses), and if you don't mind walking 15-20 minutes, you can easily walk to several very nice restaurants and cafes.

We would definitely recommend the apartment to anyone!
