Perfect place! Excellent hosts who make you feel so at home. This Airbnb is perfect to be near Auckland but away from the hustle and bustle. We left our car and got the bus into Auckland from across the street. Much easier than trying to navigate the city. Perfect for our ferry trip to Rangitoto Island which we really enjoyed. Also enjoyed walking along the harbor....Wynyard wharf is great...lovely views of the city skyline and great boats to look at it and neat things like shipping containers turned into a reading area and a place to try your hand at the piano. This Airbnb is a home away from home. Their dogs are a delight and very friendly so if dogs aren’t your thing maybe not the right place for you. We loved the bed being in the loft area but be ready to navigate the ladder. We loved this place and going back for 2 nights at the end of our trip. Highly recommend!
