To me, Nicky's house is an ideal place for people who want to enjoy beach view and water sports at north Auckland. Great location, just 2mins walk to a beautiful beach. Less than 10 mins driving to cafe, supermarket, long bay regional park and 15mins to a big shopping mall. If you want to have some quite/leisure time, the comfortable sofa in front yard will definitely satisfying you under afternoon sunshine. My family feel great to stay a whole week here. I strongly recommend Nicky's place to those still struggling to select which host to stay with.
