We stayed at Jemma's a few weeks and kept extending because we were so comfortable. It was hands down a winner for our kids--easy access to a safe garden area and pleny of play space inside. The grown ups enjoyed nice window views and the quiet of being next to the golf course. A family of ducks came by to say 'hi' every morning--very cute. Wifi was stable and reliable for streaming and video calls. Nice west location for access to Bethal's beach and a more nature/wild side of the Auckland area. Decent shopping mall a few miles away as well. On top of it all, Jemma and her husband are extremely nice--and very kind to our kids. Thanks to them for making their place available!
