Milford/Takapuna is a great place, and the view to the Lake Pupuke is amazing. Large deck that we could use all by ourselves. Our small family of three had everything we needed here. Even through the heavy rain/cyclon Gabrielle in Feb 2023 we enjoyed ourselfes with good movies, spotify music through the excellent stereo and playing some of the games Neil and Georgina had stored down here.
Neil and Georgina were super friendly and always responded (most often came down) immediately whenever we had questions, when running empty with gas for the bbq etc.
We heard no noise from upstairs, and (according to Neil) they fortunately did not hear our 6yr son "partying" in the middle of the night with 12hour jet lag from Norway.
