My husband and I stayed here for a week, and found this studio to be perfect for our needs.
The location is situated in a beautiful and safe neighborhood, close to many amenities such as a grocery store, pharmacy and many restaurants. Everything is a walkable distance, including the beautiful nature reserve closeby. A short drive or zoomy away, you can explore mission Bay Beach, downtown Auckland, shopping centers and many other locations. It's far enough from the bustle of the city but close enough to enjoy it easily!
The studio itself is very clean and comfortable, as well as stylishly decorated. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare any basic meals, and Sarah graciously provided some simple breakfast items for us. The amenities are very useful for longer stays. The heated towel rack was a hit with us.
The host, Sarah was very sweet and made us feel very welcome in her home. She stopped by to check in on us and have us tips on local places to check out in the area. Although the studio is separate and has its own entrance, it was comforting to know she was there closeby if we needed anything- especially as we are foreigners in NZ.
All in all, a great stay with a lovely host. Thank you! Highly recommend to anyone staying in Auckland.
