As you walk past the house to the Studio, you enter a different & fascinating world. You might think you were in the middle of peaceful sub-tropical bush in the Coromandel rather than 15 minutes from Auckland CBD. The one-room Studio, with separate bathroom & toilet (just across a short covered walkway), was very comfortable for a couple of nights but not perhaps for a longer stay. The area around the accommodation & small pool would benefit from some tidying & maintenance.
