Absolutely loved staying at Suellen's studio. The place was spacious and clean, decorated impeccably and it made me feel very comfortable staying there; her and Ian were lovely to interact with (she's very responsive) and I loved the treats Suellen provided :) She gave fantastic restaurants for nearby cafes/restaurants. Check out Eden Noodles! I did not mind, but for people who may be bothered, you can hear loud noises/footsteps, like when she had her grandkids over, but I was ok with it! I'm sure she would be happy to accommodate if you ask for a quiet stay while you are there. Perfect for a weekend in Auckland. Would love to stay here again!
