We had a great 10 night stay in October at Jacqui's place as a family of 5 (Mum, Dad, 3 boys aged 7,5,1). The location is amazing - Takapuna beach is at the end of the street and there are many shops/restaurants/playgrounds all within easy walking distance. It's also very handy for central Auckland, Devenport Ferry Terminal etc. The apartment itself is wonderful - modern kitchen (all utensils, etc), bathroom (with underfloor heating), comfortable living spaces that easily accommodated our family. Two good sized bedrooms were ideal for us. Toys, puzzles, buckets & spades also available. We didn't take the kayaks out, but they looked good fun. Jacqui was very easy to communicate with, and clearly an experienced host. Would love to stay again if we are in Auckland again.
