Gill’s wonderful, spacious and very comfortable Villa by the Sea is perfect for a family holiday. It is especially great for families with children of all ages. Two beaches, parks and play grounds are all within a very short walking distance. Devonport is a very relaxed and easy place to stay with all the immediate services, shops and family restaurants you would want. While Auckland’s CBD and waterfront restaurants etc are only a 12 minute ferry ride away. In the opposite direction there is a direct 40 minute ferry ride to Waiheke Island and it’s vineyards and vineyard restaurants. And Gill is a very kind and generous host.
