Prime location!! Straight and easy run to the airport. 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.It is a big house and we have two rooms for guests. There is a shared bathroom .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 we have room 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.
Breakfast. We are happy to provide a light breakfast,just ask when you arrive.
Dinners. Because I love cooking, I am happy to provide dinners at a minimal cost.Feel at home to ask.
Because we are walking distance to supermarket, mcdonalds, subway, Burger king and Chinese and other Asian restaurants, you will have no problem eating out.

Rosemary and Victor are great hosts. Their home is very lovely and comfortable. Near from the city, it's a great place to stay in Auckland. Bus station in front of the house. 5mins walking from shops, fast-foods and restaurants.

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.

How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 199 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
