An absolutely beautiful place. Wonderful location, close enough to walk to Auckland but out of the city for a cozier feel. The walls are a bit thin. Didn’t bother us and was nice to hear the birds in the morning. Not super close to a grocery store but almost everything is available at the conscience stores. Jan left clear and easy instructions and everything was exactly as it said. Also super easy to get a hold of and incredibly friendly you have any questions. A fantastic place!
