Peter & Judi are wonderful hosts and their space is perfect for travelers who don't need a full kitchen. Everything was clean and beautiful, and their outdoor space was lovely. The whole Birkenhead area smells so sweet from the trees and gardens. Keep in mind that restaurants close on the early side (at least compared to Chicago) and if it says it closes at 10, the kitchen may have closed an hour earlier. The ferry into Auckland is a short walk from the property and the trip takes only 15-20 minutes. It's a very scenic ride! Peter & Judi were super friendly and happily helped us out when we left a pair of glasses behind. Highly recommend staying here!
