For our small family it was a great luck to stay with Din. If you are looking for a family friendly accommodation and most important, a host who is lovely and kind to small children and understands what means traveling with kids, this is the place. The room was very spacious and clean, the views from the balcony to the bay, fantastic. Din prepared a delicious breakfast with organic eggs and milk from farmers, gave us great tips and took us to a farmers market. If you are vegetarian, no worries. Our 4YO son had a great time playing with the dog, Fred, in the garden. The location is great, a peaceful residential area, 5 minutes walk to the Newmarket train station (which is already in the central fare area), bus stops and,if you fancy shopping or restaurants, the Newmarket shopping mile is 8 minutes walk away. If we visit Auckland again, we will definitely stay with Din again.
