Ian and Yvonne are very patient and careful hosts. We appreciate that they hosted us on Christmas Eve and it was very sweet they reminded us to the Countdown. In the next morning, we were woken up by birds and the view from the yard was wonderful. The house was very clean and comfortable and I like the design of the window. There are many restaurants down the road from the house so finding something to eat is very convenient. Our two-year-old baby cried at night but Ian and Yvonne never had complained, on the contrary, they love kids and introduced their lovely grandchildren to us. On the last day, we had a happy chat with them. It is definitely the best choice when we come to Auckland. Highly recommend them!
