The Grey Lynn Sanctuary is an absolutely gorgeous, peaceful, comfortable place to stay while in Auckland. It’s a thoughtful, beautifully designed contemporary space—warm
during a winter stay, with plenty of space to sleep and hangout, and with a great kitchen set-up and amenities if you want do any cooking. The sanctuary is surrounded by Marc and Tracey’s lush gardens (including orange and grapefruit trees for daily citrus!) in the midst a beautiful residential neighborhood full of scenic Victorian and contemporary structures. It’s on the bus line, walking distance to two groceries as well as Thai, pizza, cafes, close to the water for morning walks, very walkable to great shopping on Ponsonby. The hosts are attentive and helpful and caring. I could not recommend it more highly!
