Maureen and Geoff are so wonderfully friendly, kind, and helpful! They have great local tips and are lovely people and very interesting to chat with. Their place is very comfortable and incredibly well located. You are steps from the beach, with a lovely ocean walk to wonderful cafes and shops. There is also a wonderful Greek and Italian restaurant right across the street, as well as a convenience store. You will be well situated for exploring around Auckland, too! We would love to stay here again and highly recommend it.
