The house was a great space to spend our first week in NZ. Bedrooms were comfy, WiFi, shampoo and body wash were very much appreciated in the shower, kitchen is very well equipped, great outdoor area with bbq. Quiet area with an easy 10 min walk to Mission Bay beach which we did most evenings. The negative point was the extremely steep driveway, we arrived by taxi and my husband had to carry the suitcases up the hill, luckily we had hired a 4x4 car otherwise you would have to park on the street and walk up. There were also ants in the kitchen at night so you have to make sure you have cleaned your dishes and wiped down the sides. Overall this was a great place to get over our jet lag and do some day trips before our next destination.
