Paul is a friendly and helpful host. The unit is completely self contained so you have all the privacy you could want. The heater and electric blanket made it cosy as the autumn came in. The bed is super comfy. Huge kauri trees in the garden are full of birdsong. The pool is a fab addition to your stay. St Heliers Bay is a short walk away. It has Auckland’s best home cookeries and I recommend the Porch bar and restaurant for an evening meal watching the sun go down.
