The hosts were nice and friendly. The pool and the view from it were fantastic. The walking area around the crater is lovely. While the room and bathrooms felt a bit dated, and the dishes were all plastic, we enjoyed the nice private terrace area. Breakfast was a bit disappointing. We liked that it is close too Devenport, and Ponsonby rd.

We were greeted on arrival which was pleasant and were shown around the outside of the property first. We were then taken inside and upstairs to our area. On arrival we noticed the place looked a bit tired on the outside, little did we know what was to come!! I have taken photos incase of any dispute. I understand everyone has different cleanliness standards but when you are renting out an area of your house you can at least make sure the basics are in order. The house was full of dust and cat hair. My son slept the night in the trundler bed and was greeted by a handful of cat hair. The walls and surfaces in the house and our area for the night were filthy, all marked and dirty. The bedding and towels were very old and tired. The plug in the smaller room was loose and sparked when my phone charger was plugged in. The spa pool had a greasy yuk film of dirt around the edge. The ceilings in the bathroom and main sleeping area have obviously been subjected to water damage and were all peeling off. There was mould around the skirting boards in the bedroom behind the bunk beds. I could go on. We were just glad none of us are allergic to animals as it would have been an even more unpleasant stay. We had no choice but to stay for the evening as we didn't have anywhere else to go. Needless to say, I would not be recommending this stay to anyone and would be embarrassed if it was my property.

Absolutely loved our stay, host was super friendly and loved our 2 connecting rooms, had a spa bath in bathroom and our own private deck. The pool and spa pool were incredible and loved the sea views. Nice and clean, we will definitely be back.

We were greeted by Melissa in such a friendly way. We really enjoy the grounds here, the view and pool area overlooking the city of Aukland is amazing. It was the perfect last night of vacation.

The advertising shows sea views which are not available from the lettable area, but are available from communal spaces. While the property itself is modern in appearance, the room we had was dated and in need of maintenance virtually on all surfaces. The mould on the ceiling in the toilet/bath room is intolerable and given the amount of dust on plants in that room, it clearly hasn’t been thoroughly cleaned for some time. Although plastic plates and glassware is provided, there is no kitchenette so presumably dishes need to be done in the bathroom. The small old Jim Beam beer fridge in the main room had chicken wrapped in tin foil left in it, which again points toward a casual approach to thorough housekeeping. The curtains in the main room are not wide enough for the window and to compensate, a see-through roller blind has been installed to fill the gap. The is little privacy in the shower at night as the external wall is constructed from glass blocks, although a narrow roller blind is installed. Beware that the space is essentially a spare room/area within the home owners house (shared entrance) and to that end, it is not a private accommodation option. We were “upgraded” to a space with a second bedroom and double bed (a rollaway for the second bed was expected) which was nice, and certainly the property is very close to the city CBD. While the price point is favourable, this is very much a case of getting what you pay for unfortunately and we would not stay again.

Big area, kids had fun they didnt eveb have time to play in the trampoline. Very quiet neighborhood too. We parked in the property so that was nice too.

Despite booking and arriving very late in the evening, Melissa was super friendly, welcoming and the communication was fabulous - the first call came right after booking to confirm. I loved the personal touches with welcoming signs at the entry and the relaxed atmosphere within the home. The nature of our trip meant we had to come and go and the host’s understanding made all the difference to the level of comfort my family enjoyed whilst there. Thank you for sharing your Home and Space with us, we would not hesitate to recommend.

Booked for 6 people, arrived around 3:30 pm & got informed, the property is full no room for us, she forgot to blocked Expedia & hadn’t got her phone for 4 hours .... Frustrating! Disappointing ! I would not consider & recommend this property.
