Dan and Christine are wonderful hosts - the house is sparkling clean, and is even more spacious than it looks in the photos. We had 2 adults and 2 boys (aged 10/8) and we all had plenty of space.
Everything you could possibly want is provided, right down to chilled water in the fridge - a lovely touch. Definitely appreciated having the washing machines be there, I made good use of that! Dishwasher also there, but we had only a few dishes so handwashed.
The house is beautiful - lots of ornaments and plants to give it a very homely feel, not like a stark motel.
The backyard is gorgeous, we felt very privileged to be opening the ranch slider to a beautiful forest and the sound of the local morepork each morning.
Check in is seamless - Dan saw us arrive and came out to say Hi, which was really nice, but you can easily check in by yourself too. A very clever door system.
The best part? Two toilets! Bit of a treat, when you're the only woman staying with 3 blokes!!
Thanks heaps to our lovely hosts - we will definitely look them up next time we need a bed in Auckland, and will be recommending them to all our travelling friends!
