My stay at Louise's place could not be better. The space is very inviting with all the amenities I needed. Everything is very neat and tasteful. The neighbourhood is the most upmarket in Auckland and it is easy to understand why. Close walk to some small, quiet and pretty beaches. Lots of shops nearby. Dear Jervois and Little Bird Organics are highly recommended for breakfast or lunch. Good walk along the coast into the city. Uber best bet from airport - note that with some drivers you have to walk a couple of hundred meters from the arrival area. Cool Auckland experience - would love to stay here again.
