Graeme’s place was the perfect landing after a long flight. It was peaceful, very comfy, and had plenty of space to relax, explore the neighborhood, and provision for our month long North Island vacation. We highly recommend Olaf’s Artisan Bakery and Cafe (incredible bread, good coffee, great entrees, within walking distance), and Bulk Food Supply to get dry good staples. You can climb Mt Eden, entry stairs are a half block down the street, to jump start a NZ outdoor vacation, with spectacular views. Graeme, Dee, and Bullet (the welcome dog) were wonderful hosts, attentive when needed, providing local useful knowledge for an easy Auckland re-entry.
