Super comfortable space that has a wildly fancy bathroom, a lovely back porch, and **big comfy couches**, allowing us to really make ourselves at home after a busy day of exploring auckland. the bed are well outfitted and comfortable, and the kitchen is extremely functional and well appointed. great driveway if you’re rented a car, a bit of a walk up a hill to get to ponsonby and beyond if not. this home is better than the photos and a great value for money compared to others!

This villa was amazing! Even nicer than the photos. It had a wonderful comfortable living area and fully stocked kitchen with a huge back patio. The bathroom was very modern and an extra separate toilet that came in handy. The laundry area was great too! We had a brief power outage that turned out to be planned but communication was excellent even at 11:30pm! The parking was unusual in that you need to park half in the driveway and half on the street but we eventually saw the instructions for that. Overall a fantastic place to stay in an awesome neighborhood!

A tranquil, lovely home that was super comfortable and peaceful. My friends and I loved the location as the neighbourhood is quiet, allowing us to relax in the space but also allowed us to explore nearby spots in Ponsonby. The living room was super comfy and a great space for board games and spending time with friends. Beautiful bathroom— such a highlight as the shower and bath were super relaxing. The beds were so comfortable too! Stefan was super responsive and proactive with anything we might’ve needed. We had no issues with checking in or checking out because his communication was so helpful, clear and friendly. We also really appreciated the last minute late check out! We overall had such a cute weekend here and definitely recommend this place. A lovely lovely space and a great host.

This is a wonderful place positioned in a very quiet street but close to Jervois Road and Ponsonby Road as well as CBD Auckland. The check-in was simple, and the house was beautifully presented throughout. The house is warm, cozy, and comfortable with well equipped bedrooms, a beautifully modern bathroom, a well styled kitchen, and a nice outdoor eating area for the summer. Stefan was a great host and always responsive when needed. Check-out was as easy as arrival. Definitely a little gem, and highly recommended.

Stefan’s place was perfect. It was incredibly clean, very comfortable and in a lovely neighborhood. The kitchen was stocked with every utensil and appliance you would need. The bathroom is beautiful and the bathtub is lovely way to relax after a day of sightseeing. Best of all is the location, centered between Ponsonby, Herne Bay and GreyLynn we could walk to everything we needed. Even walking to Auckland CBD/Wharf was only 35 minutes. Lastly, and while it might sound like an insignificant issue, this was one of the only places we stayed that provided a luggage rack for each bedroom as well hanging closet space and ample hangers. After traveling for almost 3 months, this was very welcomed. Oh, and I should mention the large capacity top loading washing machine was helpful in our final packing before returning to the States. I hope to book this place for part of our 2026 return to NZ.

Great little house that feels like it is being modernized step by step. Pros - Lovely new bathroom, - nice bedrooms - spacious - Location is simply awesome Cons - back balcony still needs to be renovated and is covered in an old “carpet” - for some reason the host claimed damages against us. We clarified that we didn’t break anything and no charge followed. However, still found the experience quite strange.

Had such a great stay here during our first visit to New Zealand. Stefan was a very responsive and helpful host, and the place was so comfortable and homey. Walkable to central Ponsonby where there are tons of restaurants and shops, but at the same time quiet enough to relax at home and watch tv. The biggest draw for us here was the big tub - if you are traveling or walking a lot, soaking in the large tub after a rain shower is such a luxury. Highly recommended, five stars!

I can’t fault the communication from the host agent, or the work of the contract cleaners. The bedrooms were clean and had new furniture as was the modernised bathroom. Some areas of the house need further upgrading and TLC, as well as the exterior which was a bit sad. So some parts were good, other areas felt a bit like staying at your Grandma’s. Overall serviceable but needs further work and attention to detail to be value for money.

I was visiting Ponsonby for a work trip and needed to be within walking distance of an event. What a great location, only 10min walk from Ponsonby road but it was quiet and peaceful. A beautiful, comfortable home!

Veldig hjemmekoselig hus, med moderne innredning og fasiliteter. Flott bad, og godt utstyrt kjøkken med alt vi trengte. Oppvaskmaskinen fungerte ikke mens vi bodde der, men det gikk igrunn helt fint, og vi hadde god dialog med husverten på det. Topp lokasjon, nært Ponsonby, og lett å ta Uber til andre deler av Auckland.

A home away from home in a quiet leafy quarter of Ponsonby, within walkable distances to Ponsonby Road and Jervois Road and all they have to offer. Comfortable bedding and heating, with a generous rear deck to take in the afternoon sunshine we were fortunate to experience
