A comfortable place to stay in a quiet suburb of Auckland, only a short bus ride from the city. Susan was a most welcoming host who was more than willing to aid me in finding my way around the area, this being my first visit to the North Island. A public transport card offered by Susan enabled me to make use of the buses into the city and, once topped up with sufficient credit, to use the efficient ferry service from the harbour to explore islands off the coast. The small room I was staying in was more than adequate for my needs with a very comfortable bed and sufficient storage for clothes etc. The whole property was immaculately maintained and thoroughly recommended. Local shops and cafes in Parnell are only a few minutes walk away and buses into the city are at regular intervals.
