Comfort and calm
The property is new, well equipped, comfortable, with great views of the basin and big skies. There is good wifi. The area is residential but just 5 mins away there's a great bus service into the city centre (20mins) and to the nearby beach [10mins]. Parking is available but we used public transport to explore Auckland and the coast.
