This person (with his wife) is very kind and humble person and you would feel like in home stay. I would like to highly recommend this place as you very first staying just away from the Auckland airport and you will never feel alone with them even you are a solo traveller.
This place is nicely located, clean and tidy with all necessary things to be enjoy with your free time on Netflix in large screen, so many restaurants and markets just away walking distance from the place. Thanks in advance for everting for me staying 10 days. !
