We've gone to Auckland staying at several spots. Tony and Jude's was our definite favorite. Loved that we could walk to zoo and the shops on Ponsonby. Their space was beautifully decorated....very cosy and private. The shops right down the street were also charming. Even though we had a car, you could definitely stay here without one - which we'd definitely consider next time. Tony and Jude were very communicative - answering our questions and making it a terrific stay. Thanks!
