Joanna and Ian are wonderful hosts. Welcomed us very warmly at our arrival, and gave us lots of local tips for our short stay. Having a wonderful (relax, fun, informative, engaging) conversation over the breakfast with them was like staying at your family/friend's home. The most natural reaction after the breakfast was inviting them to our home for the next day breakfast, though the problem was we were thousand of miles away. Nice home with free parking, spacious room with a very comfortable bed and sitting area, tea and coffee in the room, and very clean private washroom. The villa is located very close to Ponsonby Road with all bars, cafes and restaurants (5 minutes walk), and a 20 minute walk down to the harbour and CBD. Will definitely stay again if we are in Auckland.
