Takapuna Accommodation

The location of this property is fantastic. It’s a stone throw from the beach and 5 minutes walking distance to the heart of Takapuna shops, restaurants and cafes. Wonderful hosts and very comfortable space with off street parking. Highly recommended, wilk definitely stay again. Thank you.

Location, ammenities, friendly host

I have stayed before and was pleased to be able to return. It is very handy to Takapuna beach and great shops and restaurants. Lovey cafe two minutes walk away by the beach. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. The accommodation is very comfortable and well appointed with a double bedroom with balcony. There is a fridge, microwave and kettle making it easy to eat in if you want. There is a separate very comfortable lounge with Netflix, a lovely bathroom with roll top bath and separate shower. There are also laundry facilities.

Nothing I didn’t like

The location is great and Lesley is lovely. She's a great communicator, and the beach walks in the morning were perfect. The bed is comfortable.

Lesley is lovely but there are improvements required for it to be comfortable stay. In the bathroom the cabinet next to the mirror is full of her ornaments and bath salts etc. The trolley/shelf beside the sink is completely rusty and looks nasty. The bedroom is not very big and there is nowhere to put the suitcase so I had to leave it open on the floor which meant I had to step over it constantly. The wardrobe was full of her items so there were no shelves available. The feather down blanket on the end of the bed smelt like it had been in damp storage for months so I folded it up and put i down on the floor as far away from the bed as I could. The 4 pillows were all super thin so that was a bit tricky to work with. It does state on the info that it's not the whole house but I missed that bit when I booked it so that's my own fault. When I came out of the bathroom one morning (with a towel around me) there was a guy just leaving through the front door. I'm really not comfortable with living with strangers to that degree so I won't be back for that reason.
