I stayed at 'Residence 26' with the family for a week and it was ideal for our stay.
It is a really well appointed and stylish apartment with access to a well maintained and landscaped garden. The apartment (and area) is peaceful but with easy access to cafe's, shops, parks etc. We could also get to both the North Shore and the City quickly and easily. I would be more than happy to stay there again and Westmere is on our list of areas to look at if we move to Auckland...
