I cannot recommend Rosie's house enough. It is spotlessly clean, Rosie herself is wonderfully welcoming, and her breakfasts are great! The house is in a central (just near Alexandra Park) location, yet very quiet off the main road in a side road. The rooms are large and well appointed. I stayed in the room with a separate bathroom - again, spotlessly clean and very modern with a lovely shower. My son stayed in one of the other rooms which was equally well appointed. We took advantage of the lovely garden to have a glass of wine before going out for a meal in one of the many restaurants close to the house. I doubt that many places this central are this comfortable. We felt very spoilt. Thank you, Rosie, and we hope to take advantage of your wonderful hospitality when next in Auckland.
