We stayed at Raena and Margaret's place for two nights in June/July 2016. It was a wonderful little cottage, fully self contained!
The wifi worked well and the bed was comfortable! We particularly liked the breakfast and the little window you can look out on to the garden from.
There's free parking available on the street and it's really close to Auckland city. Would recommend attempting to take a back road during peak hour as Auckland's traffic was pretty awful we discovered!
Thanks :)
