Cath & Chris’ place is A-mazing! It had everything we needed and more. We could not have asked for a better start to our travels around New Zealand. We felt extremely welcomed - Cath and Chris had us round to their place for drinks and gave us advice on all the best sites to see in the area. The beach is just a 5 minute-walk. The bus stop into Auckland is just around the corner (it runs regularly and late into the evening) Very comfy bed that helped us to recover from the jet-lag!
