It was delightful to have Ginty as our host for a 2 night stay. He was genuinely concerned about making sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable. This extended to the use of a very nice spa located outside the private living room. The accommodations are private with an outstanding private bathroom and cost living room. There's also an adorable kitten named Obi to play with, but only if you want to. Ginty offered loads of local travel tips and loaned us a copy of the detailed Auckland area road map to use during our stay. Full kitchen sharing was offered. The location is awesome, with cross-the-street beach access, walk-to restaurants, and relatively quick access to the motorway. Ginty was a fun host and we very much enjoyed our stay there.
