Jan's place is great for anyone wanting to stay at a home away from home while in Auckland.
It is useful to have a car hire there as it is some distance from the city, but very handy to stay at if you have a car/access to transport to get around.
The place is very well organised, with homely touches and very helpful and easy to communicate with hosts Jan and Phil. Also the back garden is peaceful and a great place to relax in.
