Dean and Margaret are wonderful hosts! They were always available to answer any questions and made our first stay in New Zealand really special. We stayed over Christmas and Dean even brought us over a tray of Margaret’s home made treats! It was special touches like that that really made our stay. The apartment was just as described. It’s in a really lovely location, close to Birkenhead, wonderful walks to the bay, and an easy bus ride from Auckland CBD, but quiet and restful with a comfortable bed and sitting room. If in the Auckland area, this is a wonderful place to stay!
