I live in the Bayswater area and had to find accommodation for 5 mature women traveling from Australia to celebrate my milestone birthday here in Auckland. Our accommodation was brilliant! The location was perfect and my guests were often transfixed by all the kite surfers enjoying Shoal Bay on any given day which we could view directly from the lounge windows. The house is spacious, the kitchen well equipped if cooking and entertaining for large numbers and the overall ambience is perfect. Ji is such a lovely host, most accommodating and helpful. I highly recommend this home and my friends from Australia will definitely be spreading the word as a great place to stay. The walking distance to the Bayswater ferry across to Auckland City is a definite bonus.
