Our stay here was more wonderful than we could have imagined! The apartment is beautiful and extremely clean with great furniture , lots of light and easy parking. The 100 meter easy walk to the amazing beach is great along with the entire strip of local restaurants, bars, coffee cafes and shops. Everyone is so friendly and helpful, be sure to enjoy this area. A short bus ride from here easily gets you to downtown. Marg was an excellent, thoughtful and kind host. She had asked about food allergies or restrictions and then filled the fridge with all of my Vegan needs. There was also lots of fresh fruit, coffee, tea, cocoa and granola to make breakfast each morning. This added such a warm and comfy feel to our stay to enjoy mornings on the deck with good food and not rushing out to a restaurant. Marg supplies everything you need in the kitchen and wonderful bath products as well.She is also willing to help with lots of recommendations on places to be sure not to miss. We truly felt spoiled staying there. Marg even messaged us our second morning offering beach towels before we even had to ask. We cannot recommend Marg and her beautiful apartment highly enough! We hope to one day travel to Auckland again and would certainly contact Marg to stay here again. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation to New Zealand! Cheers !
