We enjoyed our stay with Joanna and Ian. The home is older and has some quirks, like no electrical outlets in the bathroom, but an electrical strip with lots of outlets and a hairdryer were provided in the bedroom.
Joanna and Ian are very personable and helpful hosts. Joanna’s homemade bread, muesli and jams were very lovely for breakfast. Their home is in a very hip neighborhood, (Ponsonby) and we loved all the options for dining and shopping. It’s also just a few minutes from CBD Auckland, making it very well located.
After our 2 night stay, we felt like we were a part of their family. We would recommend staying with Joanna and Ian for a taste of authentic NZ hospitality.
