Our host was wonderful! We flew in from the US and she was able to get us into our room early so we could recoup after the long flight before heading into Auckland center to see some museums. Access to everything was easy from here and the coastal road is especially beautiful on a clear day! Would definitely stay here again if we’re back in Auckland!
