Brilliant location, 30 seconds to local shops (including smaller supermarket) heading up the road but only 2 minutes walk to Takapuna beach if you walk down the road. We had wonderful walks down the beach each day and choose a direction depending on the tide either around to the coves to St Leonards beach or down to the end of Takapuna and around to the castle on the way to Milford, or just 3/4 the way down Takapuna beach and then up to the major shopping centre - absolutely spoilt for choice! A perfect spot for a holiday.
