Excellent property, really clean, comfortable and felt like home right away. It’s also just a walk away from local amenities, which is really convenient. We loved the costal walk and views and the laid back vibe of Browns Bay was really relaxing.Mina was an excellent host and looked after any queries we had quickly and without any issue.We will definitely consider this property again next time we’re in Auckland.

Convenience and comfort

Quiet, comfortable in a very convenient location. Beds, shower, aircon all excellent. Note slightly limited cooking (2 ring hob) and narrow access lane (parking is available on the road). I would definitely choose this property again though.
