Set in a peaceful garden, it's like holidaying at your friend's shack - comfortable, relaxed and shabby. It's a great inner suburb base for exploration near or far by foot, bus or car. It's close to the pinnacle of grocery stores in Richmond Road and the spire of Skytower in the city, and the on-trend shopping of the neighbouring suburb of Ponsonby. All of your sustenance supplies are close by. The hosts are lovely.
