Everything was lovely. The house was lovely, the pool was lovely, and the host was lovely. This place was definitely worth the money and I would definitely come back again if I ever visit Auckland again. Of course there was some obvious wear and tears in the house, which I can easily overlook, but there were also small issues. For instant there were some stains/smudges on some of the kitchen appliances as well as dust/dirt in a few cabinets. We also found some items that didn't belong to us in cabinets/drawers. We also encountered an ant problem in the bathroom on the second day of our stay. I messaged the host and she was more than willing to help us out with the problem. We rejected the help seeing as we were leaving the next day so we dealt with the issue. Everything mentioned was an issue we didn't mind dealing with and was only a small bother to us at the end of the day. I recommend this place if your looking for a remote place to stay, with roosters as alarm clocks.
