Richard and Catherine was an awesome host, communication was fluent. It was a nice, cozy and a sparkling clean home, the bed was very comfortable, an electric blanket had been provided for a warm and comfort sleeping night, a heater by the walk way just great to heat up the whole area, the kitchen utensils and all others amenities provided were more than our expectations, it was great that this home installed with a ventilation system made home always filled with fresh air. It's a walking distance to Takapuna. Catherine had prepard some very delicious cake and we love it so much, and with the lovely cat Stig company made our stay more joyful. I highly recommend this home for those who are pet lover or not allergy to pet.
