Overall: really enjoyed the stay in such a big, spacious and nicely done up house. Will recommend to other travellers
Location: although not near Auckland City centre, but there is a mall and 2 big supermarkets about 2 mins drive away. Very convenient. Car porch enuff to accommodate 2 suvs
Communication with host: Sarah has been a great host, very quick in her replies when we had to seek help with operating the kitchen stove, the central heating system and WiFi connection.
Additional plus points: lovely in-build fireplace that warmed the house well, play area with lots of toys to keep young kids entertained, garden had a swing for the kids to play, baby amenities well provided ( cot, playmat, bath tub and baby shampoo/bath foam)
