We loved our stay at Graeme & Colleen ' s house.
Along with nice view of lake its close to city and Airport. 15mins drive both ways. Few restaurants only 5 mins away and there is a big park near the lake if you like to go for a walk or kids want to play there.
Both are very welcoming and very neat and clean property.
Would like to stay again there if travelling Auckland.
Thanks Graeme & Colleen
