We had a lovely stay. If you are looking for something quiet and special but still very central, this is your accommodation. The garden is amazing, we woke up from the sun shining and enjoyed our coffee in the sunny garden. There is a bus pretty close that takes you to town hall in 20 minutes, which was great for us. Penelope was very friendly and let us do our thing. We will definitely stay here again, if we will be in Auckland.
