Stunning, world class views of Auckland city and harbor with decks and floor to ceiling windows everywhere. Lovely, high ceiling'ed, airy space with modern amenities, elegant kitchen, 5 minute walk to a ferry pretty much anywhere. Great neighborhood with fun restaurants, safe nature hikes for the kids. Friendly, competent, well-prepared, ultra-responsive hosts who live nearby but are totally non-intrusive (thank you Geordie and Anna!). About as nice a welcome to Auckland for your family as you could ever hope for!
