Trish's apartment is amazing - the garden has some of the best views in Auckland, looking out toward the city. The place is quite large, with an amazing modern bathroom and a great kitchen for some light cooking. With a 5 minute walk to the ferry, you won't find a better place to stay while visiting Auckland - or just a quiet place with some privacy to relax for the weekend.
On top of the beautiful modern space, Trish is also an excellent host. She provided everything you could think of to make the stay comfortable. Tea, coffee, and snacks! I would highly recommend staying here if it is available.
