Stunning little hideaway - couldn't have dreamed it up - not only is the interior beautifully designed and appointed (the wooden touches throughout are gorgeous) - but the outdoor area and outlook - to the river and lush vegetation - are just amazing - super relaxing and we ate outdoors (under cover) every night.
The other thing that will amaze you is the genuine and warm (but not overwhelming) hospitality - Betsy offered to drive us to our concert at Mt Smart - we didn't end up taking up the offer but it was very welcome nonetheless - and tips about great places to eat and visit were also welcome.
Lots of great 'necessities' there on arrival which made things very easy - but also the local supermarket is only a couple of km away.
We found the stairs easy to navigate and well-lit - but do take Leigh and Betsy's advice that you do need to be able to navigate the stairs and driveway.
Although it is on-street parking (at the end of a no through road), we had absolutely no issue being able to park right outside every time.
We sincerely recommend this place for a single or couple as a great get away - yet it is so accessible to the centre of Auckland and all it's attractions - we could have stayed much longer!
