This is a great place to stay, out in the countryside yet near to Silverdale and in very easy reach of Auckland and the CBD (in your own transport or using the transport hub at Silverdale). The place is presented really well, the photo's don't do it justice as to how nice it really is - and the views are really nice as well. We had everything we needed and all good quality furnishings and equipment too. Our hosts were really great, we had nice communications from them leading up to the stay and they were so welcoming, showing us everything in the house. Happy to recommend this as a great place to stay.
