This is a great location and a great hostess. It's close enough to Ponsonby, Herne Bay and the city to walk and there are regular city link bus services too. If you're driving, the freeway on ramp is just down the hill.
The room was exactly as described, with my own access and a big bathroom - very comfortable all round and the sun-drenched courtyard was a great place to unwind and read a book.
Susan was excellent,leaving me to my own devices but being on-hand if I needed her. I'll definitely stay here again.
