A beautiful place to stay, in such a lovely location with a view of stunning scenery, sheep and wildlife from every window. Auckland CBD is an easy drive but you are far enough away to feel truly relaxed and away from it all. Wineries, a brewery, great restaurants and a beach with incredible views are all very close. The accomodation itself is clean, comfortable and very well stocked. Kitchen with all the equipment you'll need, bathroom with well powered shower, a VERY comfortable bed, dining area and sofa. What more could you need? We had a wonderful time, very relaxing and in a location that enabled us to easily do all the things one should during a trip o Auckland. Gillian and her partner were great hosts. Very informative, available if we needed but respectful of our privacy. Could not have asked for more.
