Max’s place was as described. Clean, stylish, nicely fitted out. Great shower. Comfortable memory foam bed. Desk in the room, which was a real asset for me. Parking and entryway are somewhat steep, which might be an issue for someone with limited mobility; it was fine for me. Convenient location about half an hour north of Auckland with good access to the motorway. I would stay here again if I were in the area. Max mentions that his son and dog might be noisy , but they were no problem for me. The room was quiet and pleasant. Good place at the bottom of the hill for breakfast and coffee.
