The space is very comfortable, it's below their main house. Good quality furniture. Lots of entertainment - books, DVD's, Wii, board games. Just a short walk from the shops and restaurants. A short drive to lots of beaches. We took the ferry into Auckland city, which was very easy, convenient and fun. Child friendly. Sue and her husband were very helpful and provided us with tea, coffee and a bottle of bubbly to celebrate New Year's eve.
