Elizabeth's house is in a handy suburban area with good access to central Auckland via the motorway. It was very quiet and peaceful. The house is comfortable and has a large deck that is nice to sit out on in the evenings. There are several takeaways/eateries and a supermarket just 5 minutes driving away at Coronation Road. Ambury Farm Park is close and looks to be a nice place for a walk or picnic, unfortunately we didn't have time for more than a quick look.
