Joanne and Don was the greatest host we ever met, great communication and wonderful hospitality throughout our stay. Gingko Loft is the hidden gem in Northcote, the building looks tiny but when we walked in we were amazed by the spacious living room as well as the bedroom. Don walked us through the beautiful home and to demonstrate the uses of "Velux", that was great experience. The loft exactly the same as in the pictures, whole house feel with natural light, sparkling clean, stunning furnishings and decorations with special touch of the fresh flowers, full kitchen and every aminities we need were well prepared. My daughter had a very comfy sofa bed on her own, and of course I had my own very comfy bed too, ah, and not forget to mention the shower, very powerful. We had a wonderful, relax, comfort and a very safe place to stay for our last 5 days holiday in Auckland. We would recommend this home to everyone without any hesitation.
