This is the perfect spot if you're visiting Auckland, especially for any event at Mt. Smart Stadium or if you plan to take day trips south of Auckland, because you can miss the morning traffic into the city. It's right around the corner from the small neighborhood of Ellerslie which has plenty of restaurants and even an Irish pub. We enjoyed a week here, which started with excellent communication upon our arrival, an easy check in process and a welcoming meet and greet with our hosts. Jacqui had just purchased a new book for her guests that detailed many easy walks near Auckland. Her thoughtful touch put us at ease immediately and we knew that we were in good hands if we needed anything. The space is large and even includes a very well cared for small private garden which feels like a sanctuary after a long flight. The bed rivals a luxury hotel and the shower has a special cover on the top that makes it like a steam shower. You can't go wrong booking this place!
