I think that this beautifully appointed and comfortable home exceeded our expectations. The views of Aukland from the comfortable patio are entrancing by day or night. The owner is both a talented deisner and chef. The home is comfortable and set up for serious cooking and entertaining. There is onsite parking and close proximity to essential services, a local restaurant, bakery, nail salon, grocery and more. The home is set in a residential area which overlooks the city. The scenery is gorgeous by night and day. By car you can access almost everything in Auckland, beaches, downtown, other neighborhoods, in about 10-15 minutes. It was a wonderful setting to wake up to and to return to after our many excursions. Pearl was also always available to suggest a restaurant or outing for us. We loved Amano, a new chef owner place downtown. I liked having a car in this location, but transit is also nearby. I traveled with my adult son and daughter. There was plenty of space for all of us to feel comforatble. We hope to return someday soon. Thank you for making this one of our best vacations Pearl.
