The location is good and close to Ponsonby. The house is very old and can get cold and damp. There are heaters and a heat pump in the house but it is an old non-insulated house so is hard to heat during winter. Especially if it rains a lot which makes it damp. Even after heavy rainfall we found some snails had made their way into house. I wouldn't stay here again especially when travelling with very young children. Overall the basics are there and location is good. But the price is high for what you get.
