Spent 3 nights at Kirk and Justine's Garden of Eden and thoroughly enjoyed it. The location is great with some tremendous Indian and Asian restaurants within a short walking distance. Bus directly into Auckland City is less than 100 metres away, and the trip into town takes less than 20 minutes. We hired a car so didn't use it, but the Skyway bus from the airport passes the end of the street. The accommodation is compact but has everything you need, and it looks out onto a beautiful and secluded yard which is a lovely place to sit and wind down with a glass or two. The hosts are equally lovely, as are their cute kids. The interaction was perfect for us, with Justine giving us tips and local information about transport and dining. And perhaps most important of all, the bed is really comfortable!
