Ross and Sharon’s beachfront apartment was the exact kind of weekend getaway from Auckland I needed. The apartment was perfect size with everything I needed - full kitchen (with decent sized bar fridge), great water pressure in the shower, super comfortable bed, a heat pump / air con unit, a handy power outlet behind the headboard for your phone charger. Also some really thoughtful extra touches like a little bluetooth speaker on the bedside, maps/guides in the drawer, and beach chairs and towels in the closet. I loved loved loved being surrounded by nature - waking up to the sound of the ocean, watching the sun rise on the beach, walking through the sand dunes to the river, saying hi to the coolest friendliest ever beach dogs, watching the sun set on the beach, star-gazing on the deck, and falling asleep to the sound of the ocean. I read all the reviews before booking, and here I am writing the all same things. We tell no lies, this place is magic. I can’t wait to go back. Thanks so much Ross & Sharon 🥰
