This is an absolutely super place, with hosts who are friendly and caring. The accommodation is beyond doubt the best we’ve ever found on Airbnb, with superb views, spacious rooms, and luxurious furnishings. The location in the wine producing area north of the Auckland CBD is ideal for getting to know both the city (only about 25 minutes away by auto) and the countryside. The accommodation is spotlessly clean and carefully maintained to a very high standard, with many wonderful little extras such as home-made granola. Trudy knows the area very well and to our delight offered to show us around to a few of the local vineyards. We had a fantastic time! Trudy and David made our short stay in Auckland most enjoyable and memorable.
