What an oasis! Colleen’s place is wonderful. It’s great if you want a quiet place, close to neighborhoods but not in the action. The rest of our family was staying on Ponsonby which was a 15 minute walk, but close to cute cafes even closer then that. The garden studio was lovely. Clean, well thought out with a nice bathroom. But the view, with accordion windows, was an absolute show stopper. The sound of the birds in the morning is a perfect way to wake up. If you want immediate access to Ponsonby, it is a little bit of a walk, but this place was well worth the walk. Thanks Colleen!
