We loved our three day stay. Very modern, clean with tasteful décor and furbishings, comfy bed, nice breakfast, warm and sunny; with own access and outdoor area it felt more like a motel. Even though a downstairs flat in the Host's home it had been soundproofed so neither party heard the other.
Surrounded by quality homes you are only a 4/5 house stroll to the beach with a lovely walk at low tide right around to the cafes and shops of neighbouring Mairangi Bay plus the Diary just across the road is well stocked. A gorgeous area to holiday in.
Our host Maureen was so welcoming and gave advise on where to eat, the beach walks and things to do. Very bubbly, friendly and beautifully presented as is her entire property. Maureen was there to help and chat but certainly not intrusive and she put us at ease right from the start as we have never stayed in a strangers home before.
Thoroughly recommend and we would definitely stay there again. Our friend who visited was so impressed is going to recommend it to others who come to Auckland based on her visual of the flat and our happy opinion. Alison & Bruce
