David’s house is beautiful, a dark wood interior makes it a very cosy stay. The house is in a quite suburb of Auckland about 20 minute bus ride to the centre. There is a train station and bus stops 5 mins down the road. We were also very pleased to see 2 gyms very close by.
The room was very big, perfect size for a couple with lots of storage and a desk to work. David is very accommodating and lets you freely use the kitchen and appliances as you please.
Our recommendation would be to visit Point Chev beach just down the road, walk in the park and visit the elephants in the zoo next to it, and take a ferry ride to the islands.
