We had a pleasure to stay at Ian and Yvone's house for about a week when we were looking for a place to rent on long term in Auckland. The room itself has everything that you might need: a fridge, microwave, TV, little bathroom, and a double bed. The location is pretty good: it's just in front of a big park with lots of birds in there. We even went for a picnic once enjoying a company of pukekos living there.
Highly recommend!
