I was in Auckland for a conference in at the Epsom campus of the University of Auckland. My mother and I really enjoyed our stay! The cottage is warm, and the bathroom and kitchen are ideal. The terrace and garden are lovely, and in the summertime would be well used. I did find the sofa bed a bit too hard, but that is just me. My one suggestion to the owner is to improve the WiFi signal by purchasing a stronger router. I was quite frustrated by my inability to work because the WiFi kept dropping and webpages would not load. This is very important to guests who are on working holidays.
