Gill welcomed us warmly into her charming, airy cottage. Her home is literally a short stroll from the main street in Ponsonby full of cafes, restaurants and boutique style shops. The green inner link city bus runs regularly and picks up just around the corner, making it easy to get around Auckland. We were comfortable and had everything we needed in her bright stylish home surrounded by restful lush gardens. Gill is an interesting lady and some good conversations were had over a glass of wine. I would recommend her to anyone planning a trip to Auckland.
