I can only give my stay here a glowing review! Both the property and the hosts were 10/10. Lisa and Daryl are fantastic hosts who genuinely care about their guests. They are exceptionally helpful and attentive without being intrusive whatsoever. Their flat is a real gem. It’s spotlessly clean, bright, peaceful, and tastefully decorated, with a lovely balcony that’s great to sit out on in the sunshine with a coffee and a good book. I had no problems with anything in the flat during my stay - everything was great. By the time I was leaving I felt like I’d been living there for years because it has such a lovely, homely feel to it!
It’s situated on a quiet yet safe residential road less than a 10 minute walk away from Narrow Neck beach, which is a beautiful, quiet beach that’s great for swimming at and from which there’s a fabulous view of Rangitoto Island. Only a few minutes walk away is a really good Thai takeaway and a lovely bakery that does great coffee, bread, sandwiches, and pastries.
Lisa and Daryl’s flat is an ideal base from which to explore Auckland and surrounding areas. The local 814 bus has a stop less than a 3 minute walk away, which takes you via Devonport village right down to the entrance of Devonport ferry terminal from which frequent ferries depart to Auckland city centre. It’s very nice to be able to easily take a day trip into the city centre and return to the peaceful flat away from all the hustle and bustle in the evening. There’s also a great New World supermarket close to the bus stop in Devonport village which is very handy to pick up some groceries at before getting the bus back up practically to your front door.
Thanks so much for everything Lisa and Daryl - I had a wonderful stay in your flat and I would have absolutely no hesitation whatsoever in advising anyone thinking of booking with you to go for it!
