Great, quiet, tiny-house-esque place to stay just outside of Auckland - perfect if you've rented a car (which you've probably done anyway, if you plan on seeing sights outside of the city). Very close drive to lots of dining options in nearby Ponsonby, and within a few minutes' walking distance are two groceries (one Countdown, one fancy/arti$inal) and a great breakfast spot (Bread and Buttery Bakery). Check-in was super-easy - we got in while Marc and Tracey were out of town, but the key was in a lockbox and they left instructions for how everything works, and we had no issues. The sanctuary is cozy and quiet - we slept really well!
