After 18 hours of flight travel, getting a rental car and then driving through Auckland from the airport it was a joy to arrive and stay at Robert's place. The area is very nice and safe, the room was large, the bed and sheets were comfortable, and the bathroom facilities were perfect. It felt like being in a private suite because the room and bath were nicely located in a corner of the house. The house itself is tastefully decorated and the view of the backyard is a real treat. The whole environment gave me a feeling of calmness and tranquility. The host is very helpful and considerate. It was amazing to find out his wife was a daughter of a Hollywood screen legend.
