We loved staying at Gabrielle's studio. A very short walk to beautiful Cheltenham Beach and North Head for great views of the Auckland CBD and Rangitoto. A compact space but thoughtfully appointed, comfortable bed and good shower. Private with a nice patio and access to washing machine and line. A 15-20 minutes walk into Devonport village and ferry to Auckland. Street parking was plentiful and felt reasonably secure. Gabrielle and David are both lovely hosts, but also respected our privacy.
