Peaceful and convenient

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!

Haven

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!
