We had such a delightful stay! From the minute we arrived (after a harrowing international flight) we were welcomed by James who was pleased we made it. Our room was ready early and overlooked the beautiful pool and garden space. The high ceilings and large tub were fantastic perks! They changed out our towels after the first day, and were willing to give recommendations for restaurants, shops, and sites to explore. Great value and location

What a beautiful garden setting right near the town centre but we honestly couldn't hear any traffic noise from our room overlooking the pool and gardens and felt like we were another world away. Such beautiful gardens. The apartment itself needed a bit of maintenance as a few things were showing age and broken but I can't fault the cleanliness and every day our room was serviced as was spotless. The pool was freezing as it doesn't get much sun so please consider heating it in future as that would have made our staff a 5 star. Otherwise the staff were super friendly, our room clean and the proximity to the lovely Takapuna beach and all the cafes and restaurants you could ask for made our trip fabulous.

A beautiful property, in a fabulous location. The beach is just a few steps away. A great cafe nearby to enjoy a tasty meal whilst enjoying the sea views. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We would definitely use this property again and highly recommend it.
