Great property and location!
Richard and Simon are wonderful but their cats are better ! Who doesn’t want to be greeted by a hugging cat ? Our hosts were full of excellent recommendations and went out of their way to help us out. The house is lovely and the neighbourhood is walkable, flush with cafes and restaurants. Great stay.

Central, comfortable and caring
Simon and Richard’s home was perfect for an overnight stay, and we were warmly welcomed to their beautifully appointed home. Parking for our car was easy, and being so close to Ponsonby was perfect for eating out and entertainment. Public transport and Uber would also be a good option. And their three cats are beautiful!
