We had three nights here and really enjoyed our stay. We visited the nearby island of Tiri Tiri Matanga which is well worth a visit and very easy to get to from Peters home.
The house was very comfy and well equipped and also peaceful. It's about an hour's drive from Auckland CBD but a great location if you're interested in exploring the wider Auckland area.
Recommend visiting the Shakespear Park which is few kilometers away and really nice place to walk with some great views.
