We very much enjoyed our week-long stay at Julie's flat. Its location in a western suburb of Auckland was perfect as a base to explore the Auckland area in our hired car. We had no problem getting our car in/out of the car port, not least because the road was not very busy. To go into the centre of Auckland, we drove to a park and ride and took the train in. Julie's flat was well equipped and we appreciated the washing machine and drier as well as the drying area on the balcony. The view from the balcony was good although bad weather meant we weren't able to eat out there as much as we would have liked. We walked to the nature reserve down the hill several times - very enjoyable with excellent views. All in all, a very pleasant and relaxing stay.
