I stayed at Daniel's place with my family and all I can say is that our stay was awesome from start to finish: the place was great, the view to Kauri Park was beautiful and the location was very convenient. You can get to motorway 1 in no time, there is a supermarket less than 5 minutes away and the Highbury shops are very close. The house had everything we needed and it was tidy and clean. We had the chance to have a quick chat with Daniel and he was very nice. He gave us some good tips for the next day too. Overall, I think this is an awesome spot, specially for a family. It is the first time that mine visits New Zealand, and they were delighted. I totally recommend staying here.
