We stayed one week in a small garden house in a quiet residential area of ​​Auckland. The house was nicely decorated, very bright and had a fantastic view into the garden. There was everything in the house what we needed every day. Right around the corner were good cafes, restaurants and shopping possibilities. The bus to the city drove right around the corner and the connection was good. Kate is absolutely helpful and very, very nice. She assist us all the time and gave us a lot good informations for our journey.
