Staying here could not have been more perfect! We were a large group from Auckland up in Whangaparaoa attending a wedding at the local yacht club and this home more than fit the bill. The house is large, modern and spotless. Plenty of parking and has everything you need in it. The home has beautiful views and only a 5 min walk down to the water for a swim, a 2 minute drive up the road to the Manly shops and a 10 min drive to the marina. The hosts are extremely generous people and funnily enough when we arrived we discovered had a connection through hockey; that is how small Auckland is. They even offered to taxi us all to and from the wedding which was absolutely going above and beyond as it finished very late. They really take pride in this home and being hosts. Even though they live in the downstairs part they respected our privacy and we never felt intruded upon. We had a fantastic stay and can't recommend it enough to others. Thank you again!!
