Auckland paradise
What an absolute lovely property. Spent a lot of our time outside viewing their lovely gardens. Lots of room and especially convenient having 2 bathrooms. Would recommend this property to anyone visiting Auckland!

Wonderful space! Great location!
We had a great stay here! The house is very cute and well-decorated, and we especially enjoyed eating breakfast on the back balcony every morning. It has a great location with a bus stop into downtown Auckland very nearby, and some shops and restaurants a short walk away. I would highly recommend having dinner at nearby restaurant Ada if you're staying here! John was very friendly and helpful in showing us around and answering our questions. The space is not air conditioned, but if you open the front and back windows a cross-breeze will keep the apartment nice and cool. Overall a wonderful place to stay in Auckland.

Our stay in Arch Hill
It is a lovely Quaint property.Our hosts were very welcoming but otherwise left us to our own devices.Coffee and biscuits on arrival.Essential shops just down the road.Was handy for us as close to family. Not far from the CBD and Ponsonby.

Great access to motorway.
Great access to motorway. Clean renovated and making good use of the available space. We had events all over Auckland so easy access to the motorway was very important. Recommend the locals to eat, Thaiger Thai an easy walk (5 min) away and Lokanta Aegean (3 min drive).

A wonderful stay
Mark and John are the best kind of hosts, great communicators, kind and caring. Their apartment is spacious, immaculate, well-appointed, sunny and quiet. I stayed for business and it was very conveniently located. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Grey Lynn and would happily return. Many thanks for everything John and Mark.

This is a really wonderful place to stay. Beautifully renovated and decorated.
We stayed here for Four nights and loved everything about the apartment. Especially being able to open all the doors onto patios at both the front and back of the house. Really well equipped with superb bed linen, towels and everything you need for a comfortable stay. Owners are great hosts. We also liked the local area - great restaurants and good transport links. Easy walk to Eden Park stadium.

The Highlight of Our Stay in Auckland
Staying at John's and Mark's VRBO in Auckland was truly our good fortune. We felt like special guests in a perfectly appointed, generously provisioned and ideally situated residency in the city. We had ample space inside and a choice of decks to enjoy our coffee, wine and meals al fresco. John and Mark were gracious hosts who kept us well informed about goings on in the neighborhood and in the city. Access to shopping for food and public transport couldn't have been better. At the end of each day exploring Auckland, we truly looked forward to spending the evening and relaxing in our cozy hideaway. Thank you Mark and John. You'v made our visit to Auckland so much more memorable.

Lucien and Cathy were the perfect guests and they were a pleasure to host. We would highly recommend to any future host and they are welcome back anytime. The apartment was left in perfect condition. Our only regret is they didn't stay with us for a longer time. All the best Lucien & Cathy with the rest of your vacation in NZ John & Mark
