We used Maureen's place as our first step on of a 30 day tour of NZ. It was ideal as after a 22 hours of flight time it was only a 45 minute drive from Auckland airport. We caught up on sleep and walked along the beach to the great shops and restaurants at Mairangi Bay. After a relaxing 2 night stay we were rejuvenated and ready to continue our adventure. Maureen and her place couldn't have served us better. Ray and Jackie.
