We loved our stay here and wished we could've stayed longer! John is a super-friendly guy and made us feel at home straight away. The apartment is a 5 minute walk from all of Takapuna's great restaurants, entertainment and beautiful beach. Set in a beautiful private spot with bush and lake views, the apartment is modern, comfortable, clean and well equipped. The bedroom is huge and easily accommodated the portacot (provided by John) for our young son. Cereal, toast bread and spreads, juice, milk, tea and coffee were all provided for our breakfast. Highly recommended!
