Only stayed in the cottage for one night with my partner. The location is perfect for Ponsonby (a great area for bars, restaurants and shopping for something a bit different) and an easy walk or bus ride if you want to go further. The cottage was spotlessly clean and the kitchenette very different to the photos - it was huge and clearly very newly renovated. I'd recommend it for a short stay, for people who were wanting to be out and about exploring all that Auckland has to offer. Easy to park on the road for those people that have a car.
