Tanya's place was perfect for our last 2 days of our 3 week new Zealand road trip. It was a great place to take a vacation from our vacation. We're home now and all rested. Her place is located right off of Ponsonby where there's a lot of great cafes, shops, and bars. It's about an 8 minute drive from the Auckland city centre. We loved her place and neighborhood, we are definitely planning to stay here again if we come back. It was a nice quite place away from all the hustle and bustle of the city but not too far where we couldn't enjoy it.
