Great spot to stay. Though it is under the owners home, it was very quiet. It was as advertised....clean, tidy, close to shops and beaches, warm and sunny, beds were comfortable. All you needed was provided including a full kitchen and a small laundry. The host was friendly and accommodating. Only slight negative was that the bathroom is very small. Highly recommend and we will be back again when we need to be in that part of Auckland again.
