Lisa and Leon were kind and helpful hosts who made my stay easy and convenient. Check-in and out were seamless and the location is 15 mins walk from St Helier's Bay, where one can find a variety of shops and places to eat. Local buses also go direct to Auckland city center (Britomart) and Glen Innes (from which one can take the train to the Airport Link bus at Puhinui). The guesthouse itself is very comfortable, with a large bed, spacious shower and convenient desk. Wifi was fast and reliable, and there was parking for those who need it.
