Great property and location!

Richard and Simon are wonderful but their cats are better ! Who doesn’t want to be greeted by a hugging cat ? Our hosts were full of excellent recommendations and went out of their way to help us out. The house is lovely and the neighbourhood is walkable, flush with cafes and restaurants. Great stay.

Very welcoming hosts, humans just as delightful. Very obliging and helpful, All info about booking readily available. Thanks for ensuring my washing was dried and returned when I was reluctant to brave the wet weather. Very central location. Very quiet room. Perfect bed to pander to my sciatica unfortunately my husband found the mattress a bit hard (he has lost some weight and has less padding than me). Thanks for hosting us.

Central, comfortable and caring

Simon and Richard’s home was perfect for an overnight stay, and we were warmly welcomed to their beautifully appointed home. Parking for our car was easy, and being so close to Ponsonby was perfect for eating out and entertainment. Public transport and Uber would also be a good option. And their three cats are beautiful!

Great home, Great location, Great hosts

We felt welcome and well looked after in a lovely, beautifully clean, renovated character home where we could come and go at our leisure and be included or not as we so wished. The property was highly specked and comfortable, close to fab eateries in Herne Bay and Ponsonby. A great find. Thank you!

100% would stay again!

My partner and I very much enjoyed our stay here. The Hosts were really lovely and easy going, great communicators, and tentative to our needs. Their house is in a superb location of Auckland - modern facilities, close to transport, bars/cafes, swimming bay, and a stones throw from the CBD. Our stay was made very comfortable with the room having everything you need and at a good price point. I would recommend this bookabatch to couples or alone travellers looking for a great Auckland stay!

Simon and Richard are as welcoming and friendly as their home is comfortable and well appointed. In addition to a wonderful setting to relax in they provided some great tips about what to do in town and how to get about the beautiful city of Auckland. Staying with them was like visiting relatives ? the kind you like to visit! ? and we would certainly return to their home again if the opportunity presented itself.

The house is a 2 bedroom 1 bath.

The house is a 2 bedroom 1 bath. He rents out one and you share the bathroom with the owners. The place has been remodeled beautifully and it was totally comfortable to share the bathroom. I thought because I was traveling with my 26 yr old daughter and I am 63 yrs old this would be an issue but it was not. The bedrooms can be separated from the living room/ kitchen area by a big glass door so you don't hear any noice from the TV/ kitchen area. Beautiful back patio that we had breakfast on.

Great location, close to local public transport and restaurants. Modern kitchen and bathroom. We may have read the discription incorrectly as a more self contained room from the owners/house than staying along side them in such close quarters.
