My brother and I had a wonderful stay with Mary Ann at Te Aro Station. It was a very relaxing place to be following our arrival in Auckland after a long haul flight. The location is incredible and offers great proximity to the stunning black sand beaches and coves as well as a great hike over a black sand dune to a lake nearby. Mary Ann was very hospitable and provided a warm breakfast for us which was lovely. Her house is open and welcoming with fantastic views. Definitely a great start to our NZ adventure. Thanks Mary Ann!
