John's place has got to be the best option for anyone looking at staying in Takapuna. The private flat is in easy walking distance to Lake Pupuke, Main Street shopping and Takapuna Beach.
The apartment has superb ammenities and a secluded bush setting above Lake Pupuke. John has not stinted in providing for every need - orange juice, coffee and fresh milk; even an umbrella for raining weather.
It was such a lovely place to stay in - so much more private and luxurious than a motel. I can't wait to return. My compliments to my hosts for providing a tranquil hide-away with a touch of luxury.
