My partner and myself stayed for 5 days over Christmas. Yve was very hospitable even giving us some food on Christmas Day, it was so kind and made our day. We really enjoyed our trip the place is very well laid out and well equipped, the pool and the views are an added bonus. If you need a place to stay whilst in Auckland it is highly recommended. We had a car and exploded most of the north island. We also used the buses to explore the city which stops at the bottom of the road.
