Had a fantastic two night stay. Richard and Catherine are gracious and welcoming hosts. Their self-contained accommodation is comfortable and has all of the thoughtful amenities that travellers need, including masses of storage (and coat hangers!), fast wifi and a well equipped kitchen. The delicious home baking, bottles of beer and tea + coffee supplies (including milk) were also very thoughtful touches. Takapuna Beach is a 5-10 minute walk and there is also extensive on street parking available. We enjoyed our stay and would thoroughly recommend.
