Grant and Shivaun's place is excellent - a beautiful location with a view of the water, a cute park in front, ample street side parking, easy to find, and really close to great restaurants on Ponsonby. They were very communicative and thoughtful hosts who greeted us warmly on our first night in NZ, made great suggestions on dinner and activities, and enjoyed a nice breakfast conversation with. The room was very warm, well supplied, and relaxing. We wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks!
