After one exciting month in NZ with a campervan i spent the last days at Janet and Baskers home.
It is cosy, perfectly clean and very comfortable. Most of all they are the most welcoming and friendly people i met in NZ.
Their home is located close to the centre of Auckland, which makes it very easy to visit the city and its attractions using public transport. Basker gave me a ticket to use bus and train.
Anyone who intents to visit NZ should stay at Janet and Bakers house. In my case it was the perfect end of my vacation in NZ. The last day after returning the campervan at the airport Basker picked me up for a sightseeing tour to several locations in Auckland.

Great place to start your New Zealand trip.
Hosts are very friendly and involved. Any questions you have they can answer and anything you could need is close by. Facilities are great, though in winter the windows are also open a lot so it can be a bit cold while showering but other than that it has everything you need.
When we left the lady also gave us 2 beanies because she said it will be cold on the southern island and we didn't have any hats. She knitted them herself and they fit perfectly and are nice and warm.
Price you pay for the stay is well worth it.

Janet was an excellent host with plenty of local information, tips and tricks. There is room on the drive for two vans with electric hook up for one of them. Use of a large garden with tables and a bbq. Also excellent washroom with large, hot shower. Morningside Station is 10 minute walk with direct access to central Auckland. (Make sure that you already have a HOP card as he station is unmanned and does not have a machine). We spent theee nights here and would thoroughly recommend it. Many thanks Janet and Basker.

At the end of our month trip through New Zealand we couldn’t have asked for better hosts than Basker and Janet.
Their hosting is second to none and they are extremely helpful giving us local tips and tricks.
In our last day before parting we sat and had coffee chatting which was a lovely gesture.
Would recommend anyone visiting Auckland to make this one of their stops as they give parking in the front of their house in their garden with use of a lovely bathroom and shower.
