Myself and a mate stayed at Richmond on the Point to watch the Rally New Zealand while it was on. Check-in couldn't have been easier. Sheryl met us when we arrived but had made provisions in case we were late. The accommodation was spotlessly clean. We both live rurally and we were really surprised at how quiet it was, given that we were in central Auckland. Especially as we were so close to the motorway! That in itself was another feature we liked - it was so easy to get to and from.
Sheryl herself, was very friendly, knew the local area well and could make some great recommendations. She even updates her guest compendium weekly as to what is currently showing at the local movie theatre!
The only thing that was a little difficult was there is no turning bay at the top of the drive. But even this wasn't too bad. It just means you either have to reverse up or down the drive. My big old double-cab ute with no reversing camera (in heavy rain and at night) managed fine and Sheryl let us know this was the case before we arrived anyway.
I would highly recommend staying here and we will definitely be back again. Thank you Sheryl for such a lovely venue
