Eric's cottage is really well set out and accurately described. Very clean and comfortable and modern, with the only minor issue being, for me, the shower (it is one over a half-bath that you have to climb into which is a little difficult if you have bad joints like I do, and the shower rose is quite low - not a problem for me, but would have been for my son!). That aside, Eric provides all amenities that are needed and the cottage is located in a very quiet street with off-street parking (bonus), but is near to shops etc. Check in was easy with keyless entry and Eric certainly keeps in contact in case he can help with anything. Would be happy to stay there again when next in Auckland.
