Patrick was a wonderful host, our Flight from Bangalore landed after midnight and Patrick stayed up and personally welcomed us into his home at around 2am. That means a lot especially with people new to a country.

The room itself was great and had its own bathroom and lounging space just like the description. The location is a little far from downtown Auckland but that is a great thing, especially if you are looking for a quiet relaxing place to spend your time. There are also a bunch of good tracks around the place in case you are up for a short hike.

Patrick also helped us plan our trip and his advice on places to visit resonated with us, even as we come to the end of our vacation. I would be happy to stay with him again.
