We stayed here after a long flight from the UK and it was the perfect little oasis to catch up on the time zone changes. The location is a 15min, easy bus journey from the very centre of Auckland which goes through the very cool area of Ponsonby if you fancy a detour on the way. The area of Grey Lynn itself has multiple ‘hipster’ coffee shops and little boutiques to start your day. We stayed with our 8month old baby and Tanya and Tony were extremely accommodating with a portcot and plenty of toys to keep him occupied. The supermarket is local if you plan on cooking and we loved walking around the local park in the early evening. We were very glad we chose here rather than central Auckland, giving us a tranquil place to recuperate as well a location convenient for our trips into Auckland centre. Thanks for our introduction to NZ!
