We had a lovely welcome to NZ at Marks place. It was our first night after a log light from europe with two small kids. The driving distance from Auckland Airport was fair. And after the easy check in we could start relaxing immediately. The hot tub was ready heated, the kids stretched there legs on the trampoline and the garden and the view from the terrace was amazing. Unfortunately we booked only one night, so after a sunny breakfast we had to leave this beautiful place. Next time we definitely stay longer!
The only think to complain about could be the cleanliness. It was no problem for us and it was as Mark mentioned before in the description: the house is a weekend house, surrounded by nature. So there were cobwebs and dust under the beds. We don't saw cockroaches. And there was a basic purity, that was fine for us. But if you have problems with some cobwebs in the corners, you should know that.
But all in all it's an amazing location that we could recommendwithout restrictions
