This was an excellent place to have as a home base for a few days of shopping around Queen St, and a ferry jaunt to Waihke Island. Out the door and there are lots of restaurants and takeaway places right there, in the middle of the city. Perfect for the two of us for a week off in Auckland, and it was just as advertised. The friendly welcome/check-in messages from HostZ were nice, and made us feel like we could ask for anything we needed to - but everything we expected to find was there anyway!
