“Excellent stay at Basin View - will absolutely recommend this accommodation.”
+Extremely pleasant stay at Basin View - thanks heaps to Geoff and Mary for hosting us at their lovely little guest accommodation in Basin View. We had a lovely time - the place was comfortable, well equipped with everything we needed, and had lovely little touches (fresh flowers, boardgames, etc.). Geoff and Mary were also incredibly lovely and easy to communicate with - they knew we were visiting Auckland for our honeymoon and gave us a small card and gift to make the trip extra special. We really appreciated it. 😊
−If I had to give just one tiny piece of feedback, the only issue we faced was that of bugs at night. It might have just been the season we travelled in, but we had a small issue with bugs, especially mosquitoes, entering the property if we cracked the windows (even slightly) at night. Because there weren't insect screens on the windows, this meant we had to keep the windows shut tight overnight, which made the accommodation a tiny bit stuffy while we slept.

“Highly recommend”
+Excellent location Hosts helpful and responsive Lovely little balcony with great view of Orakei 20 minutes walk to shops, restaurants and train to Auckland city centre (5 minutes on train) Everything you need to have a great stay
−Not a complaint but just be warned that the walk down and back up to and from Orakei is a steady climb. Not a problem for us!

“House on the hill”
+Love the views and the quietness of the neighborhood. You can hear the crickets, the birds, it was very relaxing. The owners and the people in general were all very friendly. People were very helpful. There are two small towns nearby that are in walking distance. You can use Uber very reasonably priced. You can use Uber eats and they'll bring you food if you don't feel like cooking. The place was set up with all your amenities and utensils. You really feel like you're at home when you're staying there. All I can say is thank you very much and well appreciated the stay. I would do it again but for a longer stay.
−It's not that I didn't like anything, everything was perfect. I had a little hard time getting up and down the driveway because I am out of shape. I wasn't expecting that, so now thanks to that, I'm going to do more hiking and exercise to get back into shape. My friend had no problem going up and down. I think we both appreciated it and it gave us more incentive.
