Colleen was a great host during our three nights stay. She gave us a lot of tips for sightseeing and stops nearby and she was very generous with the check out time. The bed was comfortable and the house is near to a lot of nice restaurants and cafes. We walked to the city centre by about 45 minutes - strolling through the shops and cafes of Parnell or through the park nearby. A very nice place to discover Auckland!
