Excellent location in Remuera. The cabin backs onto a winding path to take you to the summit of Mount Hobson - you wouldn't know you're so near to the city. The cabin itself is simple, cozy and unique. It has all essentials provided including pans, cutlery, bedding, etc. Waking up there in the morning feels very peaceful and idyllic. John was great during our stay and always there to help if we needed anything. He's an excellent host. Highly recommend. Thank you!

We had a lovely stay. The tiny house is quite comfortable and cosy. The gardens are amazing! It is not far from Auckland CBD and there are shops and a train station very close. We would recommend this to anyone who wishes to have a fun and peaceful experience.

A stunning place to stay. For people who appreciate Bauhaus Architectural style with a dose of Kiwiana. And ... then there was the view from the lounge room!

Great place, away from traffic. awesome views of Auckland. Peaceful setting.

Views were spectacular and in fine weather would be a first rate location. However - credit card charged without permission - no hot water to shower first morning and were told that we must have turned off even though switch in obscure place and couldn't be accidentally turned off - unsafe path to accommodation at night (no lighting) and no safety railing near drop very close to loose paving stones

While the view was great access is difficult for older people and the steps up to the top unit were dangerous in the wet and there was no hand rail.

well it's not technically a hotel it's more like a apartment. when I booked through hotels.com NO where it stated that there would be additional charge for a 3 year old child. this place charges you extra if are more than two people so if you have kids be aware. it's writen very vaguely in hotels policy about extra charge for addition person so just be aware or contact the property owner before hand so you don't get surprised if suddenly you are charged extra. on a positive note the property is in a great location with great views and there is is a mini hiking trail right behind the property. it may be a good deal compared to others around the area but it is the only one with a lot of additional charges that one cannot see when they book online so hotels.com or expedia should do a better job showing policy details for this place.

Everything was fine. Just probably getting a little dated. Very very steep drive!

This place had everything we needed and is close to the city with a train station just down the road. Beautiful view of the city and friendly owners - great place to stay

A peaceful retreat in the middle of Auckland. Native bush surrounding with birds about. Hosts very approachable and friendly. The cottage at top. Many stair but the view is worth it.

John and Mali are great. John has given us so many things I helped was amazed. Thanks John and Mali it was very nice with you. I would stay here again. Dominik and Stefan

A very convenient location for my flying visit to Auckland and was very well taken care of in the cabin..

Great location. Very obliging host.

Double bookings made it a very messy process, with two changes to the original accommodation booked and paid for. As it was described as 'boutique' I expected something special. However the facilities were less than average. No soap at the toilet washbasin. A used bar of soap provided in the bathroom. No TV signal, probably as it is on the side of a hill.

Disappointed. Saw and read online description, sounded fantastic. Our apartment was unfinished in that a wall had been gibbed but not finished (no gib stopping/painting/still see nails). Free2View TV only, so limited channels and some were a repeat of previous but an hour later. No Sky. No DVD. Front door had not been framed and there was no door handle on inside. No waste bin in bathroom. The sofa had one side that was becoming detached. And when we arrived we were greeted with the greeting "You have the wrong address. Didn't you read the email?" On a positive, the location was fantastic and the idea was right. It just didn't live up to the expectation

So lovely. Rustic and cosy. Got engaged here so be warned that there is joy in the air here!!!
