“We had a wonderful stay at Maureen's incredibly stylish and comfortable home. You were in a perfect location for walking to the Domain and Parnell and Maureen's communication made everything flow very easily. We loved our time there, thank you!”

About our home
Our lovely home was completed in 2009 with the help of an interior designer.
Two walls of sliding glass doors open from the stunning kitchen/living room onto the patio and garden. We are situated 3 minutes from the heart of the cafe, restaurant scene in Parnell Road, a few minutes walk from the extensive green space of the Auckland Domain and Museum and 20 minutes walk from the CBD. An excellent bus service runs from Parnell Road. Several safe swimming beaches are within a 15/20 minute drive.

Maureen's reviews
As a host (8)“Maureen and John's place is beautiful and located in a prime position in Parnell. They were super easy to communicate with and we were really happy with our stay. The house has amazing indoor and outdoor spaces and everything you need for a first class stay. The location is just a block from the main street so it's really quiet but close to cafes, galleries and local transport links. Wed highly recommend this as a swap.”
“Wonderful swap as always, thank you. Love how close to everything Parnel is for our city holiday. Beautiful home and suroundings.”
“I was impressed by the house, but also by the welcome I received of Maureen and John. Maureen advised me to taste the salads and fruits of the garden, witch I gladly did. Moreover, my hosts were on the Waiheke island that I visited, they offered to meet me. Maurren waited for me at the ferry terminal with his car, and showed me the most beautiful vineyard and the most beautiful beaches. I highly recommend this beautiful house for your stay in Auckland. Thank you so much Maureen and John, I look forward to receive you in Paris next year. ”
“Maureen and her husband were exceptional hosts, welcoming us into their lovely home. We met with them and they explained everything we needed to know. The location of their home is perfect, so close to many lovely areas for tourists and also a great spot for a returning expat family looking for a home! The home itself a sun-drenched delight and the abundance of fresh tomatoes from the garden was a bonus. I would highly recommend this swap for a visit to one of the nicest suburbs Auckland has to offer. Thanks again guys for your hospitality! Jade, Alistair and boys.”
“We had a wonderful weekend, Maureen's home is beautiful and so central. Perfect to walk to most places in the city and Parnell. Loved the Sunday french market just 10 mins walk away. So much to do but hard to drag yourself out the the beautiful house to do it! Thanks again. ”
“Thanks to Maureen & John for their hospitality and help before and during our visit to Auckland, they were very helpful. The house is perfect, big, good location, bus stop is 2 minutes walk and city centre is 20 mins by walking. We really recommend this swap. Thanks and hope to see you again!!!”
“We had a fantastic experience at Maureen's place. She and her husbanfd are very friendly and helpful. The house is great and it is at walking distance from a nice area with reastautants. cafes and nice shops. the view is beautiful. There is everything in the house with a nice outdoor. Maureen was so nice and she took us for a tour on the Waiheke Island just in front of Auckland. Sometimes there is the noise of a train but you get used to it very quickly and the area is very quiet. I would reccomend it to everybody! ”
