Patrick is super. He was very welcoming and adaptable and flexible to my needs and timings, and it's been really appreciated :) The home is beautiful, as beautiful as the photos, and the rain was lovely. It's a very peaceful area. It's a fair bus journey from the centre of Auckland, but a really beautiful journey, and I really enjoyed it! I would definitely recommend this as a place to stay, especially when first landing here do you gently land probably after a long flight like I have all the way from London. It's a great place to gather your thoughts and plans make friends (with the other guests as well). And to stare at the stunning sea and enjoy the sound of the wind! I I will be sure to book again if the lovely Patrick and Gina have space for me. We also had quite a lot of giggles in a short space of time!
