Prime location!! Straight and easy short run to the airport. We do take in local New Zealanders as well from all over New Zealand. if coming to Auckland, check us out first. You would be pleasantly surprised with the comfort we offer.We do take in short term or a few days stay, no problem. Just a few minutes on the bus to nearby Eden Park.So central to the city centre. Bus stop just outside the gate.We have a freestanding studio which is self contained and separate from the main house.It has its own bathroom, kitchenette and own private deck.
We live in a 1920s bungalow. Lots of shops around us, supermarket, shopping mall and restaurants galore.We both love reading and travelling. I love gardening and enjoy the fruits of my labour.
We do take in guests at short notice, if free standing studio is available.
We have really enjoyed having people from different parts of the world to stay, and have shared jokes and food and stories. So looking forward to the next lot of lovely people. You are most welcome.
Because we are walking distance to supermarket, mcdonalds, subway, Burger king and Chinese and other Asian restaurants, you will have no problem eating out.

Loved the place and the ambience. The host is very welcoming. I am a lone person and they didn't disturb me. There's plants all over the place and a couple of cute cats. What's more to say ?

Victor and Rosemary made us feel very welcome and went out of their way to be helpful. We stayed in a comfortable room with own bathroom and kitchenette. Location is very convenient for the airport and it is easy to catch a bus into the city (important when wine tasting on Waiheke Island)

Welcoming and friendly hosts. Nothing is too much trouble. Clean room. Maybe one mattress a little too soft for an adult but would suit a child fine. Very convenient for airport.
