As I was late from Auckland Airport, Patrick & Gina warmly welcomed me and offered me bread, French cheese and wine. Patrick is those kind of person you meet during your trip that make it wonderful. If you have a chance to book for a room here: don't hesitate and go for it!
The place is quiet, full of trees and near of a beach. Buses near of the villa bring you downtown in about 30mn. If you're with a car, you'll reach Auckland downtown in about 20mn.
