We were very satisfied with our stay here. It is in a quiet area a little way out from Takapuna, but easily reached either by car, bus or on foot. We particularly liked strolling along the beach there. You’re in your own self-contained chalet and had everything you needed. You were provided with your food and drink essentials which was helpful since you didn’t have to rush out in the morning to get breakfast. A supermarket is a short walk away for anything else you’d like. The hosts were friendly, welcoming and helpful, not intrusive but on hand if you needed them. The morning swim in the pool was also enjoyed. We will definitely consider returning on future trips to see our daughter who lives close by.
