I had a brief one night stay as I had meetings further north on Thursday. Jane's place was AWESOME! Not only was it clean, quiet, and easy to get to (aside typical Auckland traffic at peak , which makes any place difficult to reach in a hurry! HA!), it was in a GREAT spot- literally walking into central Takapuna in a matter of minutes. and for me- early morning run along the bays, get back grab my wetsuit, literally run down the hill to the far end of Takapuna beach, swim the length, run back up the hill (in my wettie of course..) because it is all super close and super accessible.
Jane is amazing, very accommodating!
