We had 2 nights stay at Tracy’s and Vaidas place before we left Auckland. They have the most beautiful garden, quiet and beautiful. We could also use their pool which was so good to swim in. We could really relax and finally sleep well after our 2,5 weeks in the camper van. We cooked good food in the kitchen. Birkenhead centre is close, 5-10 minutes walk where you can find everything needed. Thank you so much for having us.
