Located about 35 minutes bus ride from Auckland centre (public transport is regular and convenient) the room is quietly located in Mt Albert which has a wealth of local shops, cafes etc. (including a supermarket 15 minutes walk away). We appreciated the welcome card and flowers and were able to make good use of the Fan and Heater. The room is under the main house and the ceiling is not that well 'noise proofed' - however this did not bother us that much as most of the time we were there on our own.
Throughout our stay Ange and Chris responded rapidly and sympathetically to our emails and we found their responses helpful.
A little exploring led to the welcome discovery that the local swimming pool, the Zoo and the fabulous MOTAT are all within a 30 minute walk.
This is a good location for 2 or 3 people who want to avoid the rush and bustle of Auckland yet still be able to access all the city has to offer for a few days.
