Liz was very welcoming from the start. She really went out of her way to make us feel at home! The rooms are located downstairs and essentially feel like a private 2 bedroom apartment with your own bathroom. The beds were comfortable and the beautiful house is very well kept. This suburb of Auckland is a prime location for easy access to both the city as well as the west cost beaches (such as Piha) Overall an excellent stay - will definitely be back soon!
