This place is a wonderful place to stay in Auckland! I couldn't get over all the thoughtful little extras they put into our welcome. They even had Auckland transit cards provided for us to us so we didn't have to buy them! Tea and coffee and cups in the room, shampoo and soap in the shower, everything we needed. A TV with Netflix in the room. Really felt like we were staying on a hotel. When we arrived we were treated to a very warm and informative welcome. The neighborhood is also ideal. Literally a 3 min walk to the train station and then a 20 min ride right into the city. There are tons of yummy restaurants within walking distance of the room and a supermarket just a 10 min walk or 2 min drive away. So convenient! I would definitely stay here again!
There is free parking on the premises, which was great for us and we really appreciated it. However, I do just want to make a quick note to other travelers. The spot we were allocated was pretty small and tricky to get into. We were driving a camry, and our car just barely fit in the space. If you are driving anything bigger than that, I would recommend messaging Caril & Brian first to see if they have another spot available or what they might suggest.
We had a great stay at their place! We highly recommend it!
