Perrine and Bryan shared their lovely home with us which was only a 1 minute walk to the beach in Devonport and 20 minute walk to town and restaurants as well as the ferry service. Great location outside the busy city of Auckland and great access to Waiheke Island and other local places. We were able to take the local bus to the busy Sunday market in Takapuna and Bryan gladly drove us to catch the ferry one morning. Our accommodation was very clean, bright, modern and a very efficient space for a couple. We really enjoyed discussing travel experiences with our hosts and highly recommend their place if you want a relaxing space outside the busy city core.
