Best place we stayed on our trip to New Zealand!
Don't hesitate to book this place, for so many reasons:
- It's a gorgeous villa -- way more gorgeous in person than the pictures let on!
- It's literally one block (1-2 min walk) to the best parts of Ponsonby Rd (which is one of the most desirable areas of the city, with tons of fantastic restaurants)
- You can appreciate downtown Auckland without being in its midst, by virtue of the incredible views to the downtown from the huge back deck / garden / pool (a far better way to enjoy it, in our opinion); it's also easy enough to get downtown by walking/bus/Uber
- The hosts are super friendly and accommodating
The bedroom and bathroom are incredibly comfortable, spacious, and nicely appointed. Though the bathroom is not en-suite, it's right outside the bedroom and has automatic lighting so you don't have to fumble in the dark.
The common spaces are spectacular and in particular, the outdoor spaces are breathtaking.
The location is perfect.
The hosts are great.
