We picked Lesley & Kevin's home in Bucklands Beach as we didn't want to stay around the CBD on our second visit to Auckland, and also as this was our first step to making NZ our new home as migrants arriving from the UK. Both Lesley and Kevin were great hosts - so welcoming, accommodating, and we will never forget our last night on your boat enjoying yet another glass of excellent NZ white wine! We would definitely recommend their place for anyone who would like to enjoy peace and quiet outside of Central Auckland but still in an easy reach of the city, its well-catered suburbs easily accessible by car or by excellent bus service, ferry access to the city and Waiheke island, and most of all the beautiful beaches so close by. We would also like to add that Lesley and Kevin's accommodation was super clean, super comfortable, and so enjoyable. Our best Airbnb experience ever!
