This place is a gem! We stayed at Sherryl’s place on our honeymoon and it was the perfect setting for the start of our romantic vacation. It was a very short walk to several beaches, including a very secluded one, and a short walk to the town of Takapuna. Takapuna has everything you could want to do on a vacation with great bars, shops and restaurants. The Uber from the airport took 30-40 minutes and it takes around 10 minutes to get into downtown Auckland. I give this place a 10 out of 10!
