We are a family of 8 and we spent 10 wonderful days at Graces place. We also had the grandparents and niece travel through Auckland during our time there who also enjoyed 2 nights with us. The unexpected increase in numbers didn’t effect the sleeping arrangements at all as there was plenty of room with 3 spacious levels to accommodate everyone. Grace was also really flexible and accomodating with the change in plan and was super responsive throughout our entire stay. On the lastnight we struck some bad luck, locking ourselves outside but Grace again had it all covered.
Architecturally the house is really impressive inside and out with balcony’s and sweeping views across the water. We had some cold nights and the heat pumps were great. Morning strolls for coffee were really convenient and it’s such a peaceful area in comparison to most Auckland areas - it felt like we were on holiday in the Coromandel but only minutes drive from Shoppings centres - all accessible with minimal traffic congestion. Highly recommended, We will stay here again.
