CBD Fringe near trendy Ponsonby, sunny house & garden, kiwi indoor outdoor living

We had a wonderful stay at this property during our family weekend in Auckland. The location is fantastic - just a short walk from the Zoo and MOTAT, which were the two main attractions we came for with the kids. The house itself is spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped, with a large yard that gave the children plenty of room to play. All the amenities inside the home were very convenient and met our needs perfectly. Check-in was smooth and straightforward, and the communication with the hosts was excellent - prompt, clear, and helpful throughout. Overall, a really lovely property in a great spot. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

If there's one area for improvement, it's that the property feels a little dated. Some minor renovations, fresh paint, and general maintenance would really elevate the space. We also noticed that ventilation could be improved - at times there was a lingering musty smell despite our efforts to air the house out. It wasn’t a major issue, but something to consider for future comfort.
