We had 4 nights in Michael and Jitka's lovely self contained flat. It was spotless on arrival and had everything we needed from breakfast supplies to some afternoon nibble treats!
We loved the location and found driving into the city not too much of a challenge. There was ample space to re-assemle our mountain bikes and this was an excellent base for exploring the stunning Waitakere ranges, Piha and easy access to Woodhill Mtb park (40mins drive).
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this as a place to stay, Michael and Jitka were extremely welcoming, the bed was super comfortable, wifi worked without a hitch and the big tele made for good relaxing in the evening.
