The view from the deck is fabulous! And the tuis flitting in the trees were mesmerising. However the traffic noise could certainly be an issue, being right beside the main highway - the house actually shakes when large trucks go passed.
Be aware you are staying in someones home, it has a very lived-in feel and the kitchen is full of everyday paraphernalia.
The master bedroom is of generous size, with beautiful view, but the second queen room upstairs is very tight.
The house is quite dated and needs upgrading, it is nevertheless a very comfortable home.
