My partner and I can't wait to return to stay with Jenny, Rob and Charlie in Meadowbank, Auckland. A stunning location, a hidden urban gem, very close to the city, but quiet, and surrounded by water, plants, birdlife beauty. Oraki Bay Village shops, a short walk from home, offered fresh food for daily cooking by two avid foodies, craft brews and local wines, imaginative lunches, great coffee options. Warm and comfortable home in winter, for travellers seeking cold climate adventure.
