Neil (Andrea) are amongst the best hosts we have had in our 20+ AirBnB experiences...friendly, helpful and just a terrific jumping off spot for Auckland. 3 minute car ride (18-20 minute walk) to ferry for downtown and Waiheke Island (which we utilized). Electric bikes a real plus although we didn't take advantage this time...we will next time as we will return and make more time to enjoy all the amenities: pool/nice yard; lounge area etc....a great spot.
