We stayed in this apartment for a month while visiting Auckland, and really enjoyed our stay.
The new and modern apartment decor, large comfortable bed, soft bedding, plush towels and amenities are reminiscent of a 5 star hotel suite. We had plenty of storage in the large bedroom closet, too. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived.
I liked the blackout curtains and blinds that made it easy to sleep in when we wanted to.
We liked having two smart TV’s with Netflix and a really fast and reliable internet connection. We never lost our WiFi or noticed that it slowed at all during our entire stay. Also, having four USB charging plugs in the kitchen and dining area made it convenient to charge our devices.
The washing machine/dryer, drying rack, and outdoor clothesline made it easy to do laundry.
We thought that the location was almost perfect. It was only a 5 minute walk to a convenience store, and a 10 minute walk to a grocery store, several restaurants, and a park.
The Orakei Basin walkway was across the street from the shopping center, with its walking paths and scenic raised walkways and bridges.
Downtown Auckland was only a 15 minute drive away, and plenty of restaurants, shopping, and beaches were easily within a 5 or 10 minute drive. (Mission Bay beach is only 10 minutes drive, and we went there on almost every sunny day)
We enjoyed the privacy of the apartment, too. It is separated from the main house and has its own private garden entrance and small private patio. We liked having off street parking, and felt very safe in this quiet and upscale neighborhood.
The kitchen has a large refrigerator and plenty of storage. It was fairly well equipped, and we were easily able to make our meals easily.
The host was absolutely amazing, too! She was very friendly and personable, and gave us tons of information about things to do and where to go during our stay. She checked in on us regularly, making sure that we had everything we needed, and always responded really quickly to any messages or questions. She deserves 5 stars plus!
I would most definitely recommend this apartment and this host to all of my family and friends!
