A comfortable home in a peaceful location! It's close enough to the city to be convenient, but still manages to feel like a rural getaway. The property is beautiful, and the hosts are friendly and easy to communicate with. We're new to the Auckland area, and this was a nice place to have a bit of a holiday before getting into our own home!

Beautiful landscape. Good Equipment in the house. Very friendly owner!
Beautiful spot, peaceful retreat, only downside is the "smart" TV didn't have any useable, useful apps like Netflix etc. Decor was a blast from the past, but that gave a Bach like feel to the place, so if that's what you're looking for, you'll love this place!
