I stayed with 3 friends February 2011 for 2 nights before starting our big NZ road trip. We wished we had stayed longer. It was the day of the earthquake when we arrived and even though the owners were busy checking on family and friends, they welcomed us warmly. The unit is really lovely with cooking facilities and comfy beds.... More

We planned to stay at No 1 for 18 nights on and off during our 27 day tour of the North Island, hopping back to Auckland when there was a game at Eden Park, as our main reason for going to New Zealand was that the Rugby World Cup was on. We stayed in the Green and the White rooms... More

Good website, easy to book rooms, friendly hosts who responded quickly to questions by email. Lots of information given before we even arrived. About 30 mins drive from the airport, straight across the bridge, and there you are. Easy parking - underneath the actual bridge, it's that close! I wouldn't want to live there permanently - too noisy - but... More

My 9 day stay in the apartment was fabulous. The view of Auckland City and Sky tower from my bedroom was spectacular. The breakfast package was more than adequate.

My wife and I had booked with Number One House for our honeymoon because let's face it, that view is incredible even for a Chicagoan that knows something about a breathtaking city skyline. An unfortunate overbooking snafu left our plans in limbo, but after apologizing profusely, Brian offered up accommodations with his neighbors Rod & Carol @ 3 Princes Street.... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Brian and Jay and truly felt like valued guests in their home. The breakfasts were beautiful as well as huge and great tasting; the advice for first time visitors to New Zealand was very, very valuable, and the room, as well as the entire home, was welcoming, beautifully decorated, and comfortable. The view from... More
