Wow! My wife and I had the most wonderful stay at Kim and Ann's place. They have created a beautiful, private studio on top of the world. We woke each morning to views reaching to the sea while enjoying a lovely cup of coffee on our private deck. The birds were coming and going, including two delightful, colorful parrots. We were so close to so many beaches we couldn't get to them all. This place is minutes to so many great options at the beaches and in town. We also were able to get into downtown Auckland fairly quickly while still feeling we were in a great vacation location. The bed was really comfortable and the bathroom was top-notch. We felt very private in the studio even though it is attached to their residence. We were able to come and go from our private entrance without being disturbed. Everything is brand new and so clean. We hated leaving and look forward to our next time staying here, we will be back!
