Loved Susan & Brett - helpful and friendly - communication and recommendations were excellent. Location is convenient to stores & restaurants at Howick Village (we spent more time there than expected, great resale & thrift stores nearby - who knew?) and Half Moon Bay ferry to Waiheke - so simple for a day trip, close by and easy access. Ate at Grangers at Half Moon Bay marina - authentic New Zealand. Comfortable place to stay. Definitely would stay there again.
