Colleen's sweet studio cottage was a wonderful home base for us in Auckland! The place is so well-appointed with nice linens, soaps and breakfast essentials. The extra outlet converters were a bonus! It is a studio - so fairly compact with the bed and kitchenette in the same space - but it's big enough and the decor and overall feel is both chic and cozy. Colleen lives in the main house right there on the property, so she's there if you need anything, but definitely gives you your space. The location is awesome for getting a local's feel of the trendy Ponsonby area of Auckland. Both nights we were there, we walked the 20-25 minutes up Richmond Road to Ponsonby and restaurant and bar hopped all up and down the street - the places in Ponsonby Central were a favorite!
