It's a lovely family home with good privacy in a quiet suburban area. The owner was kind and easy to communicate with regarding check-in. When we walked in, we absolutely liked the space - as it was very spacious with all the necessary amenities in place. You could feel the owner actually put a lot of care and effort to make the place as homely as possible. Also they have a nice wooden porch right outside of the living room. There's a local supermarket/mall nearby - only about 3mintues driving that is another advantage. Not only that, when the weather is nice, you can also walk around the area and have a nice view of Auckland city across the strait. Nice place to stay and would recommend to anyone who wants to experience Auckland suburban life. :)
