I stayed at Shivaun and Grant's place twice in the space of a few days as I passed through Auckland while travelling in New Zealand. It was a lovely place, and just as described - a very comfy home; it felt to me a bit like staying with some long lost relatives! I had a rental car, so I found this a good location - easy to park, but totally walkable to the CBD, and plenty of lovely cafes nearby. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean, and I enjoyed having a cuppa and a chat with both Grant and Shivaun, but also the privacy to just crash in my own space when I wasn't feeling so sociable. I'd happily stay here again.
