Simply astonishing
Host was absolutely amazing, communication was clear, very accommodating couldn't ask for any better. Accommodation was fantastic, house was perfect. Awesome to be near farm land and great to see and hear the cows during the day.
We will definitely be back and stay again next time we are In Auckland.
