Maureen and Geoff's warm and friendly welcome ensured we felt immediately at home in our cozy, private apartment on the ground floor of their home. Our comfortable lounge, spacious bedroom and mod-con bathroom was perfectly complemented by the lovely private patio adjoining. The space was very clean, the bed was comfy and the power shower really powered. It takes less than a minute to walk to the beautiful sandy beach and Auckland is only 35 minutes away by express bus or private car. A relaxing place in which to enjoy our final days in New Zealand.
