We had a great stay at this little cottage, and the backyard/deck were great for the kids, as well as the local park out the back. The information provided was easy to follow and there was an excellent array of breakfast and coffee supplies, which was wonderful as we arrived late in the evening. The location was excellent as well, being nearby to a large shopping centre and local restaurants, plus many playgrounds. It was a short drive into Auckland city and other nearby tourist attractions, and was a quiet area. Mark was great at responding quickly to messages and was willing to provide extra help at the cottage if needed.
