My family just finished a nine day stay at Lavender Hill. We used it as our base and then took trips throughout the Auckland area. With a bedroom for each of us and a very positive family/kitchen/dining area with views of the olive trees, lavender flowers, and alpacas, we always enjoyed coming home to such a welcoming spot to finish the day. Trish and Jason, the owners, know how to host! Try the Lavender Hill Gin with tonic and a splash of fresh lemons from their trees to get the full experience.
