Nothing in this property description is overstated--Jane & Paul's "house in the trees" really is a lovely piece of paradise. They are both consummate gardeners, to which their lovely grounds attest. We were continually moving around between the multiple amazing verandas to get the best views of the birds, harbor views, sunsets, etc. The many thoughtful touches for guests attest to Jane & Paul's natural, gracious hospitality and their kind nature. We were often coming and going, as were Jane & Paul, but even when they weren't there, we felt comfortable and at home in their lovely house. We highly recommend this property for anyone wanting a convenient, comfortable base in the greater Auckland area.
