Gary and Elizabeth are very friendly and easy going, accommodating people. Felt very welcome and all requests were promptly completed.

The house is just across from one of Auckland's best beaches in Stanmore Bay, and the water view in the mornings is just amazing.

The house is large and spacious and in a very quiet and safe neighborhood. The home is very comfortable.

Central Auckland is about 45 minutes away depending upon traffic; alternatively there is also a 45 minute Gulf Harbor ferry. Everything one could need is nearby from several good grocery stores and shopping and several gyms.

What the description of the house doesn't mention is that Elizabeth and Gary are foodies--their kitchen is essentially a professional gourmet chef's kitchen with all cooking amenities provided for. So if you enjoy cooking, this house will be ideal for you. The kitchen is very well stocked.

In addition, there are a large number of books to read and DVDs to watch.

The internet is fast and reliable and suitable for home office work.

I would recommend this accommodation and look forward to staying here again in the future.
