This was a very spacious, clean and stylish space.
Check in and out was very easy. The unit had everything you need to make meals and there was a small container of milk and larger orange juice waiting for us in the fridge. There is also body wash, conditioner and shampoo.
There was also a fancy nespresso maker with coffees and a milk frother which was a delight.
In terms of family friendliness, this unit had a portacot set up with the bed made for us - it was fantastic for us to not have to set up one. I would not say this is a child friendly place otherwise.
If you have mobile toddlers or babies be aware that this unit has some glass / fragile decorations - I had to move many objects off of tables or book shelves to protect them from my two children. Otherwise it was great.
It was about 20 minutes (worse with traffic ) from the actual mountain, Mount Murangi where there is hiking and the beach. The views from the unit are beautiful of the estuary. The community itself doesn’t have much to do as it’s residential and there are not nearby shops or paths.
Parking is quite difficult in the private driveway although better than street parking. The driveway is very narrow and curved (which the host cannot change or help) so be aware if you’re driving anything bigger than a sedan car you may need to park on the street and walk up the driveway.
