We were so thankful Mark had us as we were impacted by the Auckland flooding and needed to find somewhere quickly. The house is beautiful, the decor is so calming and everything you could possibly need is provided. We have three children and there was room for them to be comfortable and my favourite part was that a short, waterside walk brings you to a cafe with fresh bread and coffee each morning. So many lovely beaches nearby and the city a short half hour drive away. We are already planning to return.
