We stayed here while visiting family in the area. The place was super clean, although we didn’t do any cooking, the kitchen is well equipped and stocked with breakfast goodies. There is a nice spot on the outdoor deck to enjoy your breakfast. We were comfortable here, Simon and family were very friendly and made us feel welcome. We had access to a car, but there are cafes within an easy walk and public transport nearby. We enjoyed our time and had took some time to relax by the pool. If you are looking for a cozy spot in the Auckland area-highly recommend!
