After The Grand Traverse hike, my husband, son and I spent 3days in AKL. Barb’s place worked out fine however, little did I realize that the steep driveway was going to be difficult (painful) for my already tired legs. Our first night there was a little warm and Barb left us a small fan which helped. We didn’t rent a car and used Uber which worked well in the area. The second day we rented e-bikes nearby and had a fun ride to Half Moon Bay for a late lunch. Third day we went to the Auckland Art Museum and had a tasty lunch, then late dinner at the nearby Westfield Mall. Barbara also helped us by allowing us to store our luggage on the third/last day since our flight home was at 10:15p. We had another great trip to NZ, thanks Barb & Andrew for the lovely accommodations!
