This self-contained flatette with 1 double bedroom, bathroom-laundry and kitchen-lounge, is fully furnished, very attractive, clean and private. Part of a large 1930's bungalow, it has it's own private entrance through French doors from the large low-level deck. The unit has everything you'll need, and there's a good parking space for a car on the driveway. Just a one minute walk to the bus stop and 6 minutes to the train, with 5 stops to the CBD.
The leafy, heritage neighbourhood is surrounded by parks, walks, village centre and mall, and is quiet at night. There are a number of facilities locally (beach, pool, squash, tennis, zoo, transport museum, movies, cafes and restaurants). We are within walking distance of AIT and UNITEC, tertiary education institutions.

About the Area
The self contained unit (next to my home) is in an established, very leafy and peaceful central suburb of Auckland. It's a one minute walk to frequent buses, a five minute walk to the train station and an eight minute drive by car. The village is a 10 minute walk and the mall is a 15 minute walk in the other direction. We are surrounded by parks, cycleways and walkways. There's lots to do locally (cafes, zoo, local, movies, restaurants, beach, mountain).

Not only is the studio perfectly equipped and has everything you need, the perfect location, 20 minutes to the city center by bus. But above all Christine is an incredible person! For her you are not just a tenant but a person to whom she pays attention...
I will never forget and maybe see you soon!May 2024
Christine is lovely and very kind host. She always helps me. The place was nice and cozy, it has everything you need. Good location, close to public transport. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Exactly what I needed. Quaint room with a small alley kitchen with everything I needed and a nice bathroom. As described it's partitioned from her house so its separate, and has it's own door. Nice place, I would definitely come back to use it again. Good for a single traveler or a couple. Christine was a great host, friendly and informative. She has a nice garden and a friendly cat that lives in her side of house but would greet me outside when I'd be coming home in the evenings. Great host, great area, solid location to public transports, great stay.

Christine was extremely friendly and kind. The homestay was perfect for us. The small induction hob meant we were able to cook small meals and the location is perfect, super close to the bus and train. As well as a mall and village all nearby. As a bonus Daisy is a beautiful and affectionate cat.

The host cancelled the booking 10 days before the arrival date.

What a comfortable little place in a beautiful neighborhood! Christine is the most lovely host you could wish for- and the cat Daisy too, of course! Everything went really well and Christine was always happy to help, answer questions and give advice. I would definitely recommend. If I ever come back to New Zealand I‘d come here:)

Thank you Christine for welcoming us. Nice place to stay, close to everything you might need and to the trains or buses to the city. Christine is a good adviser for her customers.

It was a cosy place in a quiet zone, and Christine was always ready to hand out good advice, abd I felt really comfortable during my stay with her.
