My husband and I chose this space to spend a handful of night for our honeymoon vacation from Canada. This space was honestly superb. Better than expected, and expectations were high given photos, a place description, and other reviews. The space itself was clearly brand new (clean, fresh, modern, stylish, etc). Location was perfect to things on our bucket list like hobbiton and Mount Maunganui (which was also close to many shops, a gorgeous beach, and great little restaurants). Then lastly, the hosts. Deanne and Gordon are serious rays of sunshine. They were beyond kind, and we were lucky enough to spend an evening with them over dinner and drinks. As we’ve said before, Deanne and Gordon, I hope we one day meet again in our lives, and we highly recommended this space to anyone looking for the perfect spot outside of the main city of Auckland.
