My family and I had a wonderful stay at John's place. The place was big enough to move around and clean when we arrived. It is conveniently located walking distance to restaurants, beach, playground in case you have kids and few mins drive to the grocery and gas stations.
I would like to thank John for his kindness, generosity and hospitality. Before booking his place, I asked if we could check-out late as our flight was at midnight, he said yes and told me at no additional cost. On the day we arrived Auckland airport, I sent him a message if we could check-in early and he readily agreed and even personally welcomed us.
I highly recommend John's place.
