Carolyn was a lovely host. Our flight was running late and she was very patient in waiting for us to show us around the place. The place was very homey and comfortable. Loved the high ceilings and decor! There is plenty of parking, we were just unfortunate there was an event on that night and we were late getting in. We were able to move the car right outside in the morning though! Walking distance to the city, restaurants etc. In a great position to explore Auckland.
