The place is gorgeous. Helen and Jack are lovely, welcoming, generous hosts and there is no need to look further for accomodation in Auckland. This is it. Our self contained suite was spacious, immaculate, bright, and thoughtfully equipped and decorated. The kitchen is large, with good quality and ample quantity utensils, pots and pans. The beds are very comfortable with beautiful linens. Views to the backyard with its wall of green, eating area, pool and hot tub make it hard to believe you are in Auckland. It is a respite, a garden of Eden. This location backs on to the entrance to Mount Wellington making it easy to get morning exercise and glorious views of the city. Helen and Jack are helpful, kind and accommodating and we look forward to our return visit!
