We had a good time at the airbnb. The view from the balcony is wonderful. Really the best thing about the rental. There is also lots to do in the area and a 40 min drive to Auckland downtown. The place was somewhat more worn than our impression from the photos, but everything was working. The place was clean, but quite a lot of pet hairs on the rugs (discovered by our crawling baby). On warm summer days, as those we visited, the air condition is a relief. Nice place to stay for a few days.
