We enjoyed 2 nights at this large house with beautiful, peaceful surroundings and flower beds. The lake with water lilies was gorgeous and we used the rowing boat although missed the oar supports so couldn’t row properly. Lovely to see the ducks. The kids liked the TV+sound system.
There was plenty of tea, coffee, sugar, towels, shower gel, shampoo etc.
The large leather chairs and recliners were comfortable..
The fridge was big but the door alarm seemed to be broken so whenever we opened it, it beeped loudly.
Overall the house was clean and well maintained. The only exception was there were hairs in and around the spa bath in the main bedroom en-suite and spider webs in one shower.
Keep an eye open for ants in the kitchen!
The bedsheets and bedding were synthetic, not cotton, so were quite hot. We were glad to have the electric fans in each room.
The Christmas decorations were a lovely touch.
The location is amazing - close to the airport, the botanical gardens and Auckland city.
