Kim and Dave were wonderfully welcoming, showing us into their beautiful chalet and chatting with us to settle us in. The chalet itself is absolutely perfect. The bush views from the bed are stunning and expert craftsmanship has been used to create this generously proportioned self-contained private apartment. The bathroom is beautifully appointed. Only 15 minutes from the airport, this bush sanctuary is somethiing to enjoy. From the homemade breakfast jams to the lovely company, I can't recommend this place enough. You could be a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of Auckland. The photos are gorgeous but don't capture the sense of peace this place brings. Don't visit Auckland without stopping by.
