Location, Location, Location! - What a perfect place to use as a base to see the Auckland area. The beach, grocery store, restaurants, all close by. Davenport was a great place to discover as well and is only a short distance away. We liked having access to coffee, tea, cereal, etc. and even soft drinks and a beer every day. All the basics were there to help get us going in the morning and to relax at night. Having a pool right out of our "villa" was really special and relaxing. The internet was reliable and reasonably fast to allow us to watch NetFlix through my laptop account. Highly recommended. Thank you for your gracious hospitality. Alan & Mary Lou
