We only stayed 1 night stay but we were so glad we opted to stay at Glenice's. The studio was awesome and Glenice provided us with breakfast for the next morning! Beautiful outlook to wake up to in the morning - view out over the water. Very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed not being right in Auckland city and as we wanted to hike Rangitoto Island the next day it was quick for us to drive down to Devonport Ferry terminal. Lovely little restaurants and shops at Devonport. My only disappointment was that we didn't have the time to stay at least an extra night.
