Pui and Apinan have a very spacious and clean home, that they obviously take great pride in. It has a fenced and private yard which allows for pleasant outdoor sitting. It does, however, share it's space with 2 other accommodations (one at the side and the other at the back). This was not mentioned in the communication with the hosts, and so we had people wandering about in the yard and another smoking by their car in the driveway.
However, it is relatively close to the airport (it took us 20, not 5 minutes to get there), but very far from the CBD of Auckland. By bus it is an hour, or a $50 taxi ride.
