The description is very accurate. It is a little bit out-of-the-way from central Auckland, and if you have a rental car that should not be a problem. There is a nice walk way down to the waterfront that we used some. The house is very clean, and well laid out. The best bedroom is up stairs. If you have trouble with stairs then this might not be the house for you.
Loved the house, and if we get a chance to go back to Auckland then I will check on its availability.
