What a gem I have found in Auckland👍. The apartment is very welcoming and warm during the stormy nights the Auckland Spring threw at us. Everything I could need for a 2 weeks stay. Thank you Tatiana 😊

Overall summary, despite the fact that the weather was not on our side while we were there, we had a wonderful time away.
The accommodation
You cannot ask for more from an accommodation perspective. The place was delightful, clean, the beds were comfy and overall it had all the things we were looking for to have a comfortable stay away from home. If the weather had played ball, we would have enjoyed several sundowners on the upstairs deck with the wonderful view. As it was, with the weather not being ideal, the house worked really well with options to just relax ad enjoy
Location
The area is absolutely stunning with the natural bush and water. We took several lovely walks into the bush in various places. Unfortunately, due to the weather we were not able to do much at the beaches, but from what we could see there were some wonderful beaches that you would be able to enjoy with some sun, as well as the tidal estuary for kayaking.
Overall experience
Jade was really helpful and quick with communication to let us know what was happening and checking in on us while we were there. Our intention was to have a good relaxing break after a busy year and lots of family and friends over Christmas / New Year, and we certainly were able to do that. We had a lovely break
