My boyfriend and I stayed at Kat and Gary's lovely house for a couple of days whilst we looked for a car :) unfortunately we didn't get to meet Kat as she was away but we did have the pleasure of meeting Gary who was so so helpful and welcoming. Gary met us at the airport and took us to a place called 'one tree hill' where we could see most of Auckland before taking us to the house which was a nice touch as we had just been in a cramped plane for 12 hours.
Our room was cosy and clean and the kitchen has everything you need.
Would highly recommend staying here. Thanks for having us!
