Beautiful location a little away from the big city, but still very drivable to Auckland and more. Just don’t expect to walk, you will need transportation.
The house is broken into main house and 3 attached apartments. There is plenty of parking but it is a little tight for larger vehicles.
The apartments are very spacious and plenty of room for 4 people. However, the kitchens are small and not well equipped (IE: dorm size fridge, very little cookware, no stove, small toaster oven, etc), which is fine for a short stay but can be inconvenient for longer stays for 3-4 people.
The bedrooms were very comfortable and spacious. Large beds provide plenty of room for two people. The location is super quiet and easy to sleep through the night, we even left the window cracked open to provide some fresh air.
However, the living room and breakfast room were small and not well furnished (one small love seat that pulled out was not enough for four of us to get comfortable in the living room area to watch TV.)
Other than a few small issues with cooking and space, we had absolutely no problems. Owner communicated codes etc with us prior to check in and we were able to access the property easily.
Thanks for a great stay!!
