Amazing house with stunning views and outside living. We were a family of two couples and two young children (6 and 2) and the house worked really well for us with most meals outside on the deck. The kids were really good at sticking to the 'stay on the decking rule' and the photos clearly show the property overlooks a bay so adults would need to keep an eye on little ones. The pathway down to the beach is for the adventurous at heart.The house cat mostly visited only in morning and night for food and the kids loved having an animal around. The linen supply was generous and great quality and George and his mum left a bench full of yummy goodies for us to enjoy - thank you!! We loved the air con in the bedrooms but ended up buying a fan for the living area as Auckland was having a hot week! The only downside was the terrible drain smell from the kitchen sink - worse when the dishwasher was on. George and his mum both visited to try baking soda and dishwash cleaner but it is definitely a drain smell that needs sorting - George has promised to get it looked at in the New Year.
