David and his wife gave me such a friendly and welcoming greeting to their easily accessible, conveniently and centrally( close to Ellerslie Village shops, bars, cafes and restaurants), located home with attached apartment - complete with its own, private, fenced and sun-facing courtyard with patio, lawn and garden. Being newly renovated this spacious one bedroom apartment is superior and stylish with top class fixtures and fittings. The bed is one of the best I have slept in which was aided by the quiet culdesac situation of this home. The top of the range refreshments provided proved irresistible to this tired, thirsty and peckish traveller. I thoroughly recommend this absolute gem to everyone wanting the optimum home away from home experience in Central Auckland.
