Victor and his wife Jovita were very easy to deal with and would regularly check that everything was working and we had all that we needed. The accomodation was even roomier than the photos suggested, which was a boon as we stayed for over two months. As we wanted to cook more that most guests so we suggested that an induction cooker plate would be useful. They went out and bought one, which we found so useful. Would recommend the accomodation for any one wanting to visit Auckland but not be right in the centre. The bus only took 20 minutes to reach the centre. During the fine weather it was great to walk along the beach, go for a swim or have a coffee in one of the many restuarants.
Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.
