We loved our stay! It is a little tricky to find (and the driveway is angled and rather steep), but the instructions were accurate and we were happy to be there once we made it inside! Everything was clean and organized, and the unit is well-outfitted. Check-in and communication in general was very easy.
The neighborhood was a lovely surprise too - just a 5-minute walk up the road there were several exceptional restaurants and cafes (although openings and hours do vary widely from Mon/Tues to later in the week and weekends), and it was an easy drive in either direction - into Auckland or out to Piha Beach.
If we are ever back in Auckland, we would definitely stay here again.
