Lovely oasis above the city. Communication with host was easy. House was wonderfully clean on arrival. Amazing space and views outdoors and a great deck to relax on any time of the day. Kids loved the space to roam, trampoline, swing, and resident pūkeko family. Great place, we will definitely stay again.
