Can not recommend Anna’s place enough! We used it as a base for when we first arrived in Auckland and after 24 hours of travelling found the check in and location excellent. The space itself is immaculate and beautifully decorated, set in the back garden of their home but still very private. The bed is SUPER comfy, the wi-fi is fast the shower excellent too! We didn’t cook whilst there but the apartment comes with basic amenities.. fridge, microwave, toaster, plates, cutlery etc. Ponsonby itself is a very trendy area with lots of independent boutiques and delicious restaurants and eateries! (Thanks to Tim for his recommendation of Dear Jervois) We walked into town a couple of times with it only taking around 20/25 minutes or so, with an Uber costing you about £5 if you didn’t feel up to the walk. All in all, a great introduction to our New Zealand trip and we knew either Anna or Tim were always available for any local tips/recommendations and to help with anything we needed! Thanks a lot!
