    Stairs to loft bed were a challenge, and stay aware of the A-frame ceiling around the bed. The toilet is down the steep steps on the main level.

    Charming cottage with full kitchen. Swinging bench on porch. Hosts available on site and very pleasant.

    Nothing! I had a great place to park and relax, a porch complete with a swing even.

    Quaint, delightfully furnished, loved the loft, and so super friendly to my dog, Cocoa 💜💙💕 Very comfortable, we walked to the park/gardens nearby several times, and saw the lovely cottages in the neighborhood

    Not much. Initially, just the parking in the street made it very difficult with a little one and all our luggage. But the hosts accommodated us soon thereafter. The shower head needs a little more pressure for water to run out of all the outlets in the head, but not really something to complain about.

    Very quaint cottage with every amenity one would need for a comfortable stay. Good location. Easy access to shops and parks. Mostly, great hosts! Olivia and Christian definitely went out of their way to make things easier and more comfortable for us. Thank you!

    it did not affect us but the ladder to the loft is quite steep and will not suit elderly guests. the loft bedroom itself was gorgeous and bed very comfortable.

    Charming and cosy cottage that was clean and had everything we needed for 2 night stay.

    The cottage was delightful. Really tasteful and quaint and very well equipped. Our hosts and their family were lovely. Breakfast was really good. The location was great with One Tree Hill and the harbour reserve both within walking distance. We didn’t go into Central Auckland but the buses went from the mall (5 minutes walk away) into the centre every 15 minutes. Overall a brilliant place to stay.

    The stairs up to the loft were a challenge. Our host had given up fair warning about the stairs going up to the loft sleeping area.

    Very clean and cozy. The swing on the front porch was a special bonus! The Hosts we very attentive and made sure we were completely comfortable.

    Resented paying $10/night for parking. This is a residential site that pretty much requires a car. It's not like they had build a special car park. There was a strong sewer smell in the bathroom likely caused by little use of the plumbing in recent days. Disappeared when the sinks, shower and washing machine were run to fill up the traps.

    This cottage is very well equipped. It was extremely neat and tidy on arrival. Furniture and fixtures all looked recent. Received a friendly greeting from the host on check-in. This cottage shares a residential lot with the family home of the hosts. The grounds are beautifully maintained. The master bedroom is an open loft that requires ascending a step staircase. It's lovely but you need to be able-bodied.

    I bumped my head because the attic bedroom had too steep a roof line incline on one side which being the shorter person was my side and the steep stairs mean keeping your suitcases downstairs which if staying a few nights may or not be annoying.

    Made to feel very welcome, cosy living area, good kitchen and bathroom, easy access to Auckland.
