Grant was extremely friendly and welcoming (Shivaun was out) and let us use the whole living space as much as we wanted to. Sitting in comfortable sofas looking out over the marina; very good. The bed is very comfortable and the room private. Quiet area and house. Perfect features, like a good shower, etc. The top of Ponsonby is 5 mins walk as described and has a lot of good restaurants, bars, etc, and it's about 30mins walk to the centre.
