Cozy home away from home

Rented for 3 weeks while we toured New Zealand. Has a charming cottage feel with all the modern amenities. We especially enjoyed bird watching on the patio. Outdoor shower is great when returning from the beach. I’d stay here again for sure.

The property was perfect for us. We had our dog. It was just right for the two of us. If I had any improvement to suggest it would be good to have small condiments available like salt & pepper. cooking oils etc , but a very minor and easy issue to fix. Our host was great. Very good for anyone that wants somewhere central in Devonport region . thank you again.

Gorgeous place, oodles of charm

We had a fabulous three days at this very charming apartment -This place is light and sunny, with a private deck and full of charm. Perfect for a family (I'm not sure the bunk beds would fit large adults). And the location is fabulous, in Devonport with its cafes and beachfront, just across the water from the hustle and bustle of Auckland CBD. Thanks so much Hubert, we hope to be back!

Our Stay With Hubert at Devonport Auckland.

We stayed in the property for 3 weeks or so. We enjoyed our stay vey much, in fact we were sad to leave. The property itself and location were perfect. just a 10 minute ferry trip and you are in the middle of the Auckland CBD. You have the beauty of Devonport itself, with all the cafes and restaurants. Our host Hubert was most accommodating and helpful, we were very grateful. The unit itself was extremely clean and tidy upon arrival, and has all the amenities required for a very comfortable stay. We have recommended the property to our friends, and can only say thanks so much Hubert, and Book a Bach. Cheers Mark and Alaina Woods

Nice place to stay, including a lot of privacy. The location is perfect just a short walk from Devonport and the ferry to Auckland city. We stayed as a family and the children loved the bunkbed and enjoyed playing on the deck. Would book again.
