We stayed for 2 nights with our 8-months old daughter at James’ place and had a fantastic time there. The house is beautiful, very clean and well equipped, and has a nice well tempered pool. It’s just a 5 minutes walk to the ferry, which takes you in 10 minutes to downtown Auckland. Devonport itself is a nice and relaxed place, definitely worth a visit. So James’ place has a perfect location; it’s right at the waterfront, close to the ferry and still a quiet place for a good nights sleep. James is a great host. He is super friendly, very helpful and relaxed. We would definitely stay at James’ place again and recommend it to our friends.
