Travelling from Sydney we found the location of John's house terrific to all Auckland amenities and of course the lovely Parnell local shopping strip. 5 min drive around the corner to a host of restaurants and cafes. John's place made our introduction to Auckland all the more enjoyable.
The house has a great homely feel with very comfortable beds and John is very welcoming on arrival. There's a great view out the back which makes you feel like you are living in a tree house. Highly recommended.
