This is a fabulous place in a great location in a quiet, charming neighborhood just outside of Auckland. Its a short bus ride from the city, but close to the beach and a nice biking/pedestrian path along the ocean. I went bike riding every day along the ocean from the house. The house is a short walk from St. Heliers and all of its shops, restaurants, and bars. You can also catch a bus from St. Heliers back into the city. The space is large, with separate living room and bedroom. The internet is fast, and having netflix on the tv with heaps of movies and shows was a great way to relax. This is a great rental, I enjoyed my stay immensely.
