A brilliant place. Clean, comfortable with a kitchenette and just a few minutes walk down to the esplanade and Tamaki Drive. We would recommend this place highly. The walk to and from the beach although short is steep and may be difficult for someone with a disability...but you could always drive! We loved it. The place is so close to great restaurants, bus routes across Auckland and into the city centre. It's about a 30 minute bus trip into the cbd along the beautiful waterfront. Our hosts Victor and Jovita were very supportive. We would most definitely come back for another stay here.
