deluxe double room

The draft from the wind coming from the window

The bed was comfy.

We didn’t know that the accomodation was shared with the owners of the house and other guests.

Very clean and nice good spot for reaching public transport and shop. Close to local attractions such as Pigeon Mountain, Howick Historical Village, and close to the ferry terminal to travel to Auckland CBD and Waiheke Island. Rooms almost precisely as pictured, very clean and well ventilated. Very comfortable. Staff and tennant's were all polite and respectful, and quiet. Not too many people which made using shared facilities easy. Coffee making facilities were good but, odd as there were no herbal teas I could identify, no instant coffee (which suits me fine because I don't drink it often) but a Nessperso machine, kettle, and black tea. Good cooking facilities, microwave, good stove, oven, rice cooker, good variety of pots pans and crockery, herbs salt pepper herbs. (dried not a garden) and spices to use. I liked how things were written in English and Chinese but would have loved if it had the English spelling for the Chinese pronunciation of the words too so I could learn. Good washing facilities for clothing and even had a repair kit available which was excellent 👌 Desk in room to work, and in my case, write at, or perhaps do your makeup or even crafts. Enough pillows and of nice quality, nice duvet, sheets, nightstands with lights and power sockets near. Fan by bed. Nice double wardrobe for hanging clothes. Very clean bathroom and kitchen, the entire place looked clean and was decorated tastefully. Smelled clean and good air flow. Nice flowers, outside good washing line, Good view from both room and balcony off main living area, including mountain view and cityscape. Great value for money. Highly recommend.

Room could have done with a nice arm chair to sit and read in etc. Had to buy milk and no herbal teas I could identify. Couldn't find an iron.

There was no supplied breakfast, or if there was I was not made aware of it.

1. The lock on the room door was not able to be locked. 2. Parking on the road only some 100m away downhill. Not good when you have to carry bags and have crook knees. 3. I turned the room's air conditioning unit on (hot night) but was unable to turn it off in the morning.

My boyfriend and I booked this place to relax, knowing that we wouldn’t spend much time at the accommodation, but we wanted peace and privacy. First of all, the check-in time was stated as 10 AM, but when we arrived 40 minutes later, the previous guests were still there. Not only did it take about an hour more for them to prepare the room and make it ready for us, but the owners also stayed on the property, cooking, using the kitchen, living room, bathroom, and one of the bedrooms. They remained there all day, leaving us no peace and no chance to relax. We had to lock ourselves in the room just to have some privacy. Additionally, we had to endure the smells of the food they were cooking without being able to use the kitchen ourselves. Nowhere on Booking does it say that the space will be shared with the owners, nor that we would have to put up with people inside the accommodation while we were there. So be careful if you book this place, because you won’t be alone and you won’t be able to relax peacefully unless you lock yourself in the room..

Didn't really like anything room was ok

On the advertisement it says the place has a pool and spa hot tub but it doesnt that was a lie so I don't recommend never would stay there again

Parking. (We have to park on the street and so we have to leave early for we have stuffs in our vehicle and not too sure it's a safe place to park)

Cheap accommodation

Didn't realize it was a shared space with other people in the flat , that is obviously why it was cheap. Advertisment indercated we had the whole place to ourselves and the other couple staying there thought that too.The bedroom was pretty small and created a lot of condensation with two people in it,and parking was restrictive,

The owner is lovely
