We did feel the price was quite high but overall the house was in a lovely area, close to the beach, shops etc. We knew it was North Shore and have lived in Auckland previously, so were wanting to be in that area. Only small negative about the house was that the driveway is very steep but having said that there is place at the top to turn the car so you don't have to reverse out. The house is very well stocked and truly felt like a home away from home. Lovely for a family with lots of games and toys and we noticed that the garage was carpeted with one wall painted in chalkboard paint, so plenty of space for kids on a rainy day. There is an internal staircase to be aware of for the aged.
There were many good points. Views were great, equipment and furniture was all great with a great kitchen and outside BBQ and entertainment area. We had everything we needed and enjoyed our stay there. I would definitely recommend it.
