We had a lovely stay in Bridget's poolside cottage. It was exactly as described, in a great location within easy access to the city centre by bus (the bus stop was just across the road) or car. Also nearby to Newmarket, Parnell and down to the beachside suburbs of Mission Bay and St Helliers. It was fantastic to have a supermarket right across the road and plenty of good cafes/restaurants/take-aways/pubs close by. We loved having a dip in the pool one hot day and hanging out with Bridget's cute dog. He always made us feel welcome! :) The cottage is self-contained and we felt very independent staying here with Bridget and her family giving us our privacy when/if we wanted it. Thanks Bridget for helping us have a lovely stay in Auckland!
