We spent 3 nights in Ken's beautiful home and found Ken to be a very hospitable and interesting host. From the start, he gave us detailed directions to the house and even though he was working on the day of our arrival, he didn't mind us checking in earlier on our own. The room is comfortable, house is very tidy and quiet with street parking (but the garage was free so we parked in there), kitchen has complimentary coffee, tea, etc you can make your own breakfast with and it's located about 10 mins' drive from the city centre on a hill, just a stone's throw from Zealandia. We really appreciate that Ken who is passionate about NZ birdlife and nature took time out one morning to give us a private tour of the park. We highly recommend Ken's home!
