There is really nothing to complain about.

It was a pleasure staying in this home-stay location. Super-friendly people, great premises.

Wi-Fi issues thus tv wasn’t running smoothly. Heater in the room wasn’t working. The facilities are shared with the owner’s family, which wasn’t bad but a bit less private than we were looking for.

Owner very nice, property was clean and tidy, Nice view to Auckland center. Overall happy with the stay!

We have no complaints.

The location was peaceful, the facilities were comfortable, cosy and clean but the icing on the cake was the incredible view with our own little deck to sit and enjoy it all! And our hosts were friendly and hospitable!

A gorgeous night at Andy’s homestay. Everything is very comfortable, lots of space in the living and kitchen area for cooking and a beautiful view. We stayed in the deluxe king room which also had a balcony big enough for yoga and a breakfast overlooking the city. We felt relaxed and like we were a part of a home, not tourists looking for a place to stay. Great spot to explore the suburbs of Auckland in the car with the easy parking. If we’re over this way again, we’ll be back at Andy’s.

It is easier to get there if you rent a car. Public transportation would also take you there but it would take around an hour from city center.

The family was very nice. They made sure I had everything I needed on the room (fan, heater, tissues, water, TV, internet, Netflix, hangers, towels, shampoo, etc.) The room was very clean. The view from the room is amazing.

Great room, beautiful view. I'd have liked somewhere to work on my laptop or an armchair in my room. However I think I misunderstood and didn't realise the family don't use the lounge and table near the kitchen. So those were available to me if I'd wanted. Also if the weather had been nicer, there was a lively little table and chairs on the private, covered deck outside the room. Both father and son carried my case to the car for me, which was very much appreciated.

It is evident the hosts are very keen to provide guests with a comfortable and friendly stay. For context, my preference is to stay somewhere anonymous like a hotel/motel, ie, I prefer not to interact with hosts because I'm introvert and not comfortable feeling I'm intruding on their space. This accommodation is very much a family home so for guests who like to be sociable you should enjoy it. That said, for those who want to keep private I don't think the hosts would be overbearing or intrusive. Unlike some owners who perhaps provide a service as much to have social contact as to generate income, it wasn't my impression that's the service model. For people who are concerned about safety, the bonus of staying here is you know there's someone on site who is very accessible. For overseas/out of town travellers I'm sure the hosts would be very happy to assist with advice about the locality. The bed was very comfortable for me and I really appreciated the balcony with the view. Wifi was excellent and having Netflix and YouTube was great. Thank you Andy for accommodating me at short notice and for your caring approach. All the best to you and Daisy with future visitors

There was a random, sharp "ping" noise that continued thru into the evening. I suspect it was metal roof cooling (?)

The hosts are super nice and very personable. The room was very comfortable and the shower ran hot. The bed was great. First decent night's sleep I'd had in days.

The bed was very hard and I had trouble sleeping

The people we stayed with were so very welcoming. I will stay there again when I next need to stay in Auckland x

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Andy and his lovely family!

A previous guest had removed the plug for bathroom sink so washing / shaving was a little harder to perform.

I only booked an hour beforehand so it wasn’t surprising that when I arrived, the host (Andy) was not expecting me. No problem; despite enjoying a large family feast / party to celebrate his son going off to university, I was quickly shown to my room . . . which did indeed, have wonderful views across the bay and of the Auckland SkyTower. The room was pretty large with an en-suite bathroom and a large walk-in wardrobe. Although I was sharing the kitchen with the family, it never felt awkward and where the guests cutlery, crockery, glassware, etc. was kept was all clearly marked.
