It was a wonderful experience to stay at the Hutch and I could not have hoped for a better host and place in Auckland. It was a bit of a last minute booking around New Year's eve but Jason was accommodating from the start. Jason's house is centrally located, the waterfront is less than 30 mins walking away, and with plenty of good restaurants and cafes in Ponsonby (I enjoyed spending time @ Cafe Cezanne). The hutch is a cabin type of ensuite room, on the small side and best fitted for a solo traveler, but fully equipped and well designed. A nice nest to come back to, to rest or read, also with outdoor space in Jason's big garden. Jason is a great and kind guide to what the city offers and I am grateful for our discussions and creating this homey feeling.
