A bespoke, wood-lined garden (basement) apartment in an Art Deco home. This purpose-built space has an open-plan living area with a compact kitchen, a large sunny bedroom, and a separate bathroom. Please NOTE - there is no additional single bed available in the common room as per the listing - this is being corrected via Airbnb. The space is comfortable and stylish. It is self-contained and is suitable for both short and longer-term stays. The house is of the Art Deco period with some elements continuing through into the apartment. The large curved bay window in the bedroom overlooks an established cycad & succulent garden. The windows are mirrored for complete privacy and there are also floor-to-ceiling curtains for additional privacy and comfort in the bedroom. The living area has a two-seater daybed and wrap-around window seats with a dining table. The compact kitchen has a fridge, microwave, manufactured stone-topped workbench, and a single induction hob with an extractor hood. All crockery (flatware) & cutlery are supplied along with utensils and cooking equipment. There is also a toaster and an electric kettle. The apartment has 2 entrances; one to the living area and the other to the bedroom. Both open directly into a small private courtyard for your sole use. Guests are welcome to check in independently via the lockbox. We're only a text or phone call away & we'll check in after the first night to ensure everything is fine and that there are no issues. Mount Eden is an established suburb of Auckland and we are on the outskirts of it, near Three Kings. Mt Eden is named after the volcanic cone called Maungawhau in Maori. Just around the corner is the Three Kings Reserve which is another volcanic cone. It is the only remaining 'King' of the Three Kings, Te Tatua-o-Riukiuta [the girdle of Riukiuta] in Maori. Both Mt Eden and the Three Kings Reserve are within walking distance (35 mins and 10 mins respectively) and both offer beautiful views. The area where we are located is a lovely suburb to walk in with Orvieto cafe just around the corner - a firm favourite of the local dog owners. The unofficial 'Chinatown' of Auckland is in the Balmoral / Dominion Road area - a 'noodle-earning' 20-30-minute walk away or a short drive. There you will find a large array of delicious Asian cuisine. There are many other excellent eateries nearby, including the well-renowned Cazador restaurant & its deli/cafe. There are regular bus services along Mt Eden Road, which is a 5-minute walk away. State Highway 20 is also nearby for getting onto the motorway system. There's free parking on the road. A well-established garden has been created by using the local volcanic rock, through which the path winds to the apartment courtyard entrance. This is a great suburban location for your stay in Auckland.
