I cannot express how grateful we are to Hamish. We had stopped in Auckland on our way to a camping trip, and overnight went into lockdown. We had to find a place to stay for the week urgently. Hamish was not only available, he made it clear that he could get us in as early as we needed to be there. And if you're going to be locked down for a week, this is an ideal place to be. It has a few and very functional kitchen (one of the best we've experienced traveling around NZ). If you're feeling stir-crazy, you can walk to the grocery store, go for a walk in one of the adjacent parks, or just sit on the deck and marvel at the view of the ocean. It also has just about every streaming service available, which again is great for lockdown since you're stuck at home! Hamish was ready with tips and help if we needed it and left us on our own otherwise. No one likes to be locked down but Hamish made it a great experience, and for that we are grateful.
