I love love loved my stay at Ginnie's. Her and her family were so incredibly warm and welcoming that I felt like I was staying with my own family. I should probably mention that my bed was very comfy, my room had nice touches like drawers to unpack, outlets by the bed, etc. etc. But really what bowled me over was the hospitality. I can't say enough good things about my experience. I'm looking forward to seeing Ginnie & co when I return to NZ.
Oh also, the location can't be beat. The intersection of Grey Lynn and Ponsonby has a nice vibe. The main street has lots of cafes, stores, bars, and people out and about. And Ginnie's house is just around the corner so it's quiet.
