we are already planning another trip back to stay in this amazing home!(fingers crossed its available!) location is perfect- ok so not downtown cbd, but thats not what Auckland is about! ponsonby, grey lyn suburbs are so much better. close to amazing foodie places and shopping but an amazing home to come home to (personally i dont think the photos do it justice!) plus amazing hosts who respond super quick leave all the lovely little things you need (we have to make a stop on the way to the airport to get the cookies they left out for us!!!) but also leave you to enjoy the place. def recommend.
