Perfect location for our purposes in Akld. Super easy hands-free check-in. Tidy and gorgeously decorsted. We just prefer a softer bed, and lounge chairs more amenable to lounging. We appreciated all amenities.

This place was lovely, everything we needed. Its well equipped with everything you might need, from cooking to washing to bed and bathroom. The bedding was lovely and soft and all set up so well with great instructions and little notes to assist. Location was perfect for us close to family but also close to beautiful beaches and good shopping. Thank you for your kindness and lovely place. We felt so at home. Thank you, till next time!

Great self contained unit

Beautifully put together, proper kitchen, great blackout blinds. Sunny back terrace setting. Very close to little bays and Brown's Bay nearby with excellent shopping and food. Albany Mall ten minutes away. There is a bit of traffic noise at peak times but does fade out pretty fast. Great host.

This is a very tidy well presented accommodation. It has a good position in the city that allows you to easily explore. We did not find out until the last day that it is an attached dwelling with the owners. The car park was too steep and awkward to get the car into and not block owners access, there is good parking on the road beside the house. Once inside it is clean and exceptionally well layed out with loads of provisions to make your stay enjoyable. Easy to use kitchen if you decide to cook and washing machine.We had no contact with the owner while staying, but there was good txt communication prior and during our stay.
