I really enjoyed my stay at Olivas place.
It's close to the airport. 20 min drive and it was the right place after my long flight. The house is very peaceful in a quiet location. No cars and singing bird's in the morning.
The room and the hole house is clean.
The room is small but very cosy. The bed is also very nice too sleep in.
Olivia is a great host. She helps me with every question I had and provided me with fresh strawberry out of here Yard :D.
If you don't have a car, it's not a problem. There is a Busstation close by( 3 min walk)and the bus coming regularly. It's not a problem to come to the centre of Auckland it's just take a bit time.
10 min with the bus and you are at the shopping Mall.
My favourites are the Bath, the kitchen and the relaxed spirit in the house.
