Rob is a wonderful host, very friendly and super helpful. She is well-travelled and interesting to talk to. The room was perfect for a single traveller, a comfy bed (quality pillows!) and nice big desk to work at with everything you need. Cuddly cat a bonus! Rob’s place was ideal for me for a quiet weekend breather between the long haul from Scotland and my onward flight to South Island. It’s a long way from the airport, but Auckland’s integrated transport system made it very easy and cheap to get to with a HOP card. It is close to shops, restaurants and bus stops and a convenient base for visiting the wonderful Shakespear regional park and island bird sanctuary Tiritiri Matangi. Thanks, Rob! Hope to be back sometime……..
