Auckland Shifnal Drive Reserve Hotels

"This was such a lovely place to stay. I came here to get over my jetlag before my trip abd it was just perfect. Local dairy/shop, takeaway, lovely river walk straight out of the garden, easy to catch the bus into town.Slept well with a comfy bed, nice powerful shower and great kitchen with plenty of space.Lots of films and programmes on the amazon prime with the TV.The owner and his wife offered to pick me up anything from the supermarket if I needed it. Really kind people thank you. "

"Comfortable room, easy and breakfast was excellent"

"We like this house - it has 8 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The showers were really good. The beds comfy enough - although some of our group found they needed another blanket. It is super clean. You need a degree to work out the stove & micowave but between us we figured it out.Lots of parking and easy to find.Quiet enough for Auckland.The house needs some maintenance - door bars need replacing in toilet and top of stairs.One sliding door to bedroom was off the rails and would not open close easily.The lock box did not open easily - needs replacing or repositioning so you can read the numbers in the dark.We would rent this house again."

"Super clean lovely host"

"Our stay at this property had a mix of positives and disappointments. The house itself was spacious and well laid out, with plenty of room for our immediate family to spread out, but also gather around the table for shared meals. The beds were comfortable, which made for a good night's sleep.However, the outdoor areas let us down. The pool—which was a key reason we booked this place—was not in a usable condition. It had discolored water and floating empty alcohol cans. The spa pool was damaged and looked unclean. This was especially disappointing since the listing stated the pool would be available.The WiFi didn’t work throughout our stay, and despite reaching out for help, we received no communication from the host. We also found rubbish inside several bedroom drawers, which raised concerns about the cleanliness of the property.Overall, while the house had good space and comfy beds, the poor maintenance of amenities, lack of communication, and cleanliness issues affected our stay."

"This place was well appointed , clean , and the communication was quick! Thank you!"

"We just needed a spoy to crash and recover after a long journey to start our NZ holiday. The location was perfect. An easy walk over to the botanical gardens, and nice trails. Friendly neighbors. Accommodations met our needs. "

"Worst place to stay.. fake listing considered as fraudulent. You do not get entire house as listed. Host and his family stay in the house. Noisy and talking at late night. Not suppose to use as the rental accommodation if host and whole family still live in the house especially with noisy children "
