Blakes place was perfect for us as we were visiting our son -in-law and daughter and needed some extra space after the long trip from TX. Blake was super responsive as we were arriving in the middle of all of the horrible flooding in Auckland. We appreciated having the aircon and being in close proximity to our kids so it was perfect for us. I would recommend to anyone looking for nice, clean accommodations in a very family friendly and beautiful area. This house would be perfect for a family traveling with children as well. Plenty of room to spread out!
