If you want to visit the concrete city of Auckland, but stay in an environmentally friendly place, surrounded by natural greenery with amazing views overlooking the city, then this place is perfect. Also, if you want to also visit Piha, New Zealand's most famous surf beach it is 10 minutes away. The property is in excellent condition and is at the opposite end of a back packer accommodation. Team Eric and Jason's communications was professional. My wife, family, and I really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend to all.
