Large, comfortable space in a quiet spot - good for a peaceful getaway. Interior is clean, linen is good, furniture is comfortable - we appreciated the couch (not shown in pics) - and kitchen is well equipped. Covered verandah with hanging chair was a great spot to spend a relaxed summer day. We enjoyed our stay and would happily return. It should be noted though that this is an old house that has seen better days. We loved the character, and a bit of roughness didn’t bother us, but if you are expecting something different be aware. The garden clearly once was lovely, perhaps Japanese inspired, but like the house it is not being maintained. It’s a real shame and I hope one day the hosts can invest in returning it to its former glory - it would then be truly magical. But overall a lovely spot for a quiet break - close to Auckland city yet a peaceful country feel.
