We are young couple who booked into Jude’s place for a week stay. We enjoyed it so much that we extended our stay for another two weeks. The room is as described, bright and airy, with plenty of space to hang clothes, and the bed is very comfortable. The bathroom is shared with other guests and is kept sparkling clean with clean towels provided. There is a shared lounge and kitchen space which is very homely, and Jude has a well stocked kitchen with everything that you could possibly need. The house is ideally located and we were a five minute walk away from the local supermarket and small businesses, and short drive/longer walk to Takapuna beach. Jude will go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable! There was a very friendly atmosphere in the house and we very much enjoyed chatting with Jude and the other guests too. Thanks for a great stay Jude-would definitely recommend!
