During your visit to Auckland, I highly recommend choosing North Shore City as your place of stay. It's an ideal location to experience genuine Auckland life. Our residence is a two-story house, with us residing on the first floor, while the three homestay bedrooms are on the ground floor.
These rooms are equipped with their own bathroom, toilet, laundry facilities, a mini kitchen, a fridge, microwave, and a toaster. We do not have a proper kitchen with rangehood therefore heavy cooking is not allow. However, you may prepare some simple meals such as anything can just cook in the water. You'll have a separate entrance to the house, ensuring your privacy.
Our home is situated approximately 16 kilometers from the city center, and there's a bus stop within a convenient 5-minute walk. Simply board a bus, and it will transport you to the city. In addition, there's a takeaway shop just down the road, also within a 5-minute walk. You'll find a variety of shops and restaurants in close proximity. I take pleasure in tending to our garden and maintaining the house in a consistently clean and orderly condition.
Our family consists of my husband and myself, and we have two teenage boys who are often not at home. Therefore, it will mainly be just the two of us.
If you are interested in meals, we can discuss those details at a later point. We typically prepare Asian dishes and occasionally noodles.
Please note that we do not offer a pickup service.
