Excellent location! Amazing views from the pool area. Lovely heated pool and hot tub. I expected a little more yard space because of the pictures of the trampoline but there really isn’t much of a yard space, it’s just the pool area. The suite is on the other side of the house away from the pool and the views. The large room is spacious and bright. A little hot because of the sun, but there is an AC in there, so it was comfortable. The small room with the bunk beds is more like a giant hallway and filled with the beds. It’s a bit strange, but it works. Bathroom is large and the spa tub is fantastic! Not a full kitchen, but quite a few things to make small meals, tea, toast etc. Host provided bread, cereals, milks, teas, peanut butter and jams. Really quite a lot of food and all the dishes needed were available to us.
Not ideal for a long term stay, definitely good for a short stay, especially when you spend most of your time out. Takapuna beach is nearby, lots of shops and eateries.
It was an interesting stay for us sharing space in this enormous home. It works for a family, but I feel it is best for a couple or friends having a quick getaway.
