Dean & Margaret's place is a perfect getaway spot with fantastic views and great location. We loved the fact that it was away from the hustle and bustle of center city, but just a close enough drive (15-20min) into downtown Auckland. There's also a grocery store just down the road if you need anything during your stay. Dean and Margaret's place was clean, modern and had all the amenities that one would need. They were very hospitable hosts with ample knowledge about what to do in New Zealand. We would definitely come back if the opportunity ever came up again!
