Would highly recommend staying at Trev's place. The apartment was spacious and clean. It is also perfectly located for exploring East Auckland or just going to the beach. Trev makes it feel more like you are a friend come to visit. He had a 6 pack of beer chilling in the fridge as well as fixings for breakfast. The garden and grounds are so inviting that my partner wanted to play in the gardens. Trev was kind enough to indulge her by picking up pruning shears for her. Enjoyed our stay immensely.
