We loved our stay at Maureen's B&B. She made us feel very welcome and the accommodation is just lovely. The flat is the lower part of the house, with it's own separate entrance, lovely private courtyard and spacious and comfortable living area. It is modern and very tastefully decorated with everything you could need. The neighbourhood is very quiet, a few steps from the beach and has a very good Japanese restaurant across the road. You can walk along the beachfront to Mairangi Bay and beyond for more restaurants and bars and shopping. Do yourself a favour and book this B&B while you are in Auckland...you won't be disappointed!
