Colleen is such a thoughtful host. We really appreciated being able to check in early because our flight arrived early. The location is perfect for getting easily into central Auckland — there’s the Newmarket train stop about 15 min walk from Colleen’s, and if you’re in the mood for a longer beautiful walk it’s about 1 hr walk from her place into central Auckland as well. We definitely recommend Colleen’s place if you’re looking for an affordable stay near Auckland CBD.
