My girlfriend and I did a last minute booking with Maureen and she was so accommodating and accepting. We were finishing our travels in NZ and needed a night stay before our flight the next day.
When we arrived she greeted us with a smile and chatted with us for a good bit. She also had some bread for toast in the morning, yogurt, fruits, etc. for us.
Maureen was extremely welcoming and nice with a plethora of information and recommendations of things to do and places to eat and have a drink. She also showed us many areas to drive to on our way out.
We enjoyed a walk on the beach just a short 1 min walk from the stay.
I highly recommend this place just outside Auckland and to stay for more than one night to enjoy the area. Thanks again to Maureen for her welcoming spirit. Maureen goes above and beyond to ensure your stay is comfortable and relaxing. We are very happy to have had the chance to stay with her.
