Clean house with lovely big and comfortable bedrooms. Host was very quick to reply when contacted with queries and sent a message checking how we were after the big Auckland flood. During the flooding we reported a leak from the old fireplace in the bathroom- nothing done about it but so much major damage in Auckland from floods that this leak would have low priority. Kitchen only fits 1 person . Not evident from photos . It suited us however as lovely range of food options close by. Great place to stay.

The house is a nice heritage property in a lovely part of Auckland. Having the Ponsonby Road so close is really good and the leafy back streets are lovely. The kitchen's a bit small, so not a place to imagine extravagant home cooked meals but the bedrooms are all spacious and comfortable. This property is hosted by a management company called Houst - which makes the interactions with the host a bit clunky. We had to change plans because of Cyclone Gabrielle and they were slow to respond - but it all worked out well in the end and Cyclones are not a day to day problem.

The location and bedrooms were great and we really enjoyed our stay. However…The kitchen was too small for 4 people and no instructions on how to make the hot plate work which made the facilities very limited . Also listing says there are basic breakfast supplies - there was absolutely nothing in the way of food and no black tea bags or coffee plunger . Found that disappointing as it is an easy standard thing to supply
