I stayed here whilst I was in Auckland for work. The location was superb, and within walking distance to the Rose Gardens and Parnell Village. Suzie was a very friendly and hospitable host. The cottage was small but comfortable. The bed is lovely and soft. As I was only here for a couple of nights, I ate out. There is a microwave, jug, cutlery etc. but bear in mind there is no kitchenette sink if you plan to cook. Thanks again for a great stay!
