Mohamed and his family were incredibly welcoming, generous and caring and made me feel like a member of their family. This is a great place to stay in the north shore. I stayed for two months and the hospitality was great. It is detached from the main house with private access through the garage. The bathroom is located next to the bedroom with a fabulous power shower. The bed was very comfortable and all the additional amenities you might require are available including laundry. There is a kitchen area with comfortable seating, a large fridge and microwave. Mohamed was great at communicating and extremely responsive, nothing was ever too much trouble. Parking on the driveway or at front of the house was always available. The house is in a great location with quick access to Takapuna, local stores and restaurants but is also peaceful in a secluded spot. I highly recommend staying here and look forward to coming back.
