Brenda was a great communicator and hospitable. We found it difficult at the time of Auckland flooding with our drenched bags, wallets and belongings there was nowhere to put them to dry or wring out initially. It was still torrentially raining outside so we couldn’t hang out anywhere. Theres no laundry items available. Unfortunately my sis put her wallet down on the bed, she was cold and drenched and it left a mark. She told Brenda who was not too happy, but it was a genuine error. I always own up to any mishaps straight away. The wait for 3 hours in torrential rain freezing cold to get out of Mt Smart traumatised us a bit as it was declared an emergency.
Apart from that it was a good stay, we loved the hosts and Max the dog.
