We loved our lovely private studio down the back of a front property with own courtyard garden and car port. It was also very quiet at night. It had everything we needed I also loved the personal home decor touches such as the pretty cushions on the couch, painting on wall magazines to read. I liked the lounge overlooking the kitchen and the bed was so comfy. Ruth also kept us updated before we arrived which was very helpful and the location is so handy to everything just down the road about 5ish minutes drive to the supermarket, shops, cafes and freshchoice. And if your lucky like us we also had the owners beautiful friendly cat visit us at night and in the morning for pats 🥰 absolutely perfect place to stay and such value for money, we will definitely be back here again when we are next in Auckland.
