Family group of 6 adults

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.

Hi Cathy, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review of the clean and comfortable house you stayed in. It's good to know that the location was convenient with a range of food options nearby, and that you had a great stay overall. Thank you again for your review, and I hope you will consider staying at this house again in the future. I'm sorry to hear about the leak from the old fireplace in the bathroom that was not addressed during your stay. It's understandable that with the significant damage caused by the flooding, some issues may have had to take lower priority. However, I hope this did not significantly impact your overall experience at the house.

Great jumping off point in Auckland

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.

Great location and lovely house

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
