The wood house is stylish and comes with full amenity. Ceiling in the living room is high enough to give the house a spacious feeling. If you plan to visit the north shore the location is good. It's quiet, connected by a freeway, and is only several hundred feet away from beach.
But because the house locates in a foothill and is surrounded by bush, it presents a serious bug problem: if you arrive after sunset your car will very likely be flooded by random flying insects once you open the door. Inside the house, on the day we arrived there were lizard poops on the table cloth, and on the subsequent days even on the couch bed. For us the first situation was terrible because the host/assistant to the host failed to answer the phone call when we seek help (at 9pm). I guess, although the check-in time is said to be flexible, it's prudent for any guest to come during daytime, and even better within office hours. If you're travelling with infants or children, please take the bug problem very, very seriously.
