This is a charming cottage in a lovely part of Auckland but it feels a world away from the hustle and bustle of Queen Street.
The house is well appointed with everything that you’d need for a nice stay - there were also sweet personal touches of homemade muesli.
The beach is short 5 minute walk from the house and the view from the living room over the golf course makes you feel like you could be in the country.
The upstairs bedrooms can heat up on summer nights but opening the windows wide and turning on the fans helps.
