My first impression on entering the house was of an over-powering scent of burnt vanilla coming from three pots of scent sticks in different rooms. Unfortunately, after we removed the scent sticks a background odour became apparent. If we had been out for a while we had to leave the doors open to air the place.
Otherwise the accommodation was as described, comfortable with easy access to a bus route straight in to Newmarket, a great shopping centre and central Auckland.
