Highly recommend Helene’s place! We didn’t see or interact with the hosts as the room was very private but appreciate the clear check-in details given a few days before our stay. Beautiful place at an affordable price. Room was clean, bed comfy and shower had great pressure! Wifi was good and kitchen was well equipped with cutlery, kettle, microwave etc very convenient for us to heat up our food. There were also many brochures for activities and food ideas. Appreciate the small touches like coffee/tea, snacks and (milk, juice, champagne) in the fridge We had a wonderful stay and would definitely return again if we are planning to visit Auckland. Thanks Helene!
