This was a very last minute booking, as I needed to be in Auckland to chair an early evening meeting. Communication with Malcom was prompt and friendly. I was looking for a room with a private bathroom - most seem to be shared, but Malcoms place actually offers 2 bedrooms and a private bathroom (with a great shower) in your own upstairs wing of their home.
Both Malcom and his wife were most hospitable, accommodating my late arrival and even giving me a glass of wine to enjoy with the salad I brought with me for dinner. They had a range of things on offer for breakfast, which was more than adequate to send me on my way for the drive home.
If you're looking for a clean, private home-away-from-home close to both Remuera and Newmarket you should definately consider Malcolm's Airbnb - it ticks all the boxes.
