Zack's place is a good value for a family of four in Auckland. It's in a beach suburb north of Auckland. We were there at the time of a big rugby match (All Blacks vs. Australia) and many places were booked, so this was a good find for us. It's pretty basic accommodation but has all the necessary amenities plus a beautiful small backyard garden with a koi pond. Zack and his wife (whose name I didn't catch) are lovely and Zack was there personally to help us get in.
