This was a great place to stay in the Auckland area. You are literally steps away from the ocean and a beautiful beach. There are several restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk, as well.
Maureen was a lovely host and very helpful when it came to suggestions regarding travel plans in the local area. She had great tips in regards to visiting Waiheke Island and informed us that we should take Devonport ferry instead of Auckland ferry (which we had no idea about). She was very friendly, but did not overstay her welcome. She lives right upstairs so she is available anytime anything is needed.
We can’t say enough about how wonderful she was. She provided basic breakfast cereal, milk and bread for toast, along with some fruit. We would recommend staying for more than one night, if possible. The location is a short distance away from city center, but is very easy to get to and in a beautiful and upscale neighborhood.
Thanks Maureen for an amazing stay!
