This is a beautiful, spacious house in a spectacular setting. I stayed with four friends and it offered all the public and private spaces we could want - all with the most stunning views.
The description and photos pretty much say it all. The only very slight caveat I'd mention is that the smallest bedroom is at the top of the stairs and has no door so it's less private and can get a bit more noise. The beds are well out of sight of the doorway, though, and it does have a fantastic corner window.
Each of us is thinking about how to come back for longer. After this house, it's difficult to imagine choosing anywhere else for a holiday within an hour of Auckland. Honestly, I can't say enough positive about the house and setting and the host Cindy.
