Colleen went out of her way to make me feel welcome, offering breakfast and airport pickup! She even gave me a ride to the ferry building one morning and let me use the washing machine and dryer. The room was cozy and comfortable, and breakfast offerings were ample and delicious. It is located in an upscale residential area, just a few minutes walk to Newmarket train station, where you can be whisked to the CBD in 6 minutes. There is another room she rents so you will likely meet other Airbnb guests during your stay. Colleen and her husband are warm-hearted, generous hosts. I highly recommend a walk to nearby Parnell and a day trip to stunning Waiheke with the $99 Wheels on Waiheke tour from Fuller’s.
