My stay with Richard and Olivia was absolutely fantastic. The room was big and had plenty of space to put my things with a lock on the door. Never struggled for time in the bathroom in the mornings or evenings either. The house is in a great place - off the main road so you can’t hear any traffic but less than 5 minutes walk from the train station and pretty much all of the important bus routes for getting into Auckland. Kitchen was well equipped which made making dinner easy, and it was possible to do laundry too for free. Richard and Olivia are both really lovely people, I spent each evening chatting to them, sometimes until the early hours! The garden is also lovely as is their cat Judi Dench! I was definitely sad to leave as I had such an amazing stay. I’d recommend this place above anywhere else in Auckland if you’re looking and I’d love to return one day. Thanks for being such amazing hosts!
