If y are coming to Auckland for the first time with your family, Charlotte's house is what you need. You need a car but you are super fast on freeway to Auckland city (20mn drive max) and others, shopping 5mn away and house super nice and fun for kids. Lovely open kitchen great for breakfast, BBQ area and nice outdoor table with the trampoline for kids which is just top. Bedrooms/bathrooms perfect. Also, if like us y have 1 kid sick when y arrive, medical facility 5mn away, y never know. thks Brice
