This was our second stay here. We spent our first & last nights in NZ at Bianca & Hendrik’s lovely suite.
Both times it has been exceptional! We wish we could have stayed longer.
The suite is wonderful - extremely comfortable, nicely furnished, and quiet. The bathroom is huge, and we enjoyed a good soak in the great deep tub after 2 long days of travel.
Bianca & Hendrik were fabulous hosts, and very flexible about our check-in & check-out times. Even though we arrived fairly late (8:30 pm), they greeted us warmly and we enjoyed a great chat with them on their doorstep.
Their home is in a lovely area of Greater Auckland. St. Heliers beach and village is just down the hill from the house, and there is a wonderful long promenade for walking. We found there was a lower key Riviera feel to the area, with little cafes & shops facing the beach. We would highly recommend a stay here!
