Great location close to Takapuna, though be aware it is right on Lake Road so there will be road noise.
Greater attention to cleanliness required... Although the place was well presented, we didn't feel like it had a proper clean for some time; e.g. stains on cushions and the back of roller blind clearly hadn't been cleaned in some time.

Vicinity, privacy.
Easy access to Auckland city from Takapuna via ferry or car.
No laundry facilities or iron available but there is a laundromat down the road.
Quite a step up into the bathroom that might make it difficult for those with mobility issues- not a concern for me but good to be aware of.

We liked the privacy, great facilities, spacious unit that was well equipped. We also liked the location close to the beach, and the secure setting. It was excellent that we could also bring out small dog with us.
The only thing we would change is the bed and pillows as we found it small and uncomfortable.

We were very pleased with the accommodation and the location; we wish we had the time to stay there a few more days, actually.
Nothing, really.

I was really in need of a whole place close to the beach to rest and this place welcomed me with open arms.
First I was totally in love with all the decoration and the details of the little place. The bed is really comfortable and warm, with really nice sheets and a heating system that is nice to turn on a little before going to bed. It saved me in cold winter days! Also a nice tv with lots of options that was good for a heavy rain day, just to stay in and chill. The bathroom has a really nice shower, and the kitchen has everything you need to make some nice meals, I’ve stayed almost a week and was so nice to cook to myself after one month traveling. The market is pretty close. Actually, everything you need is pretty close.
Also, Takapuna beach is just a short distance walk, and I’ve had beautiful views over there, with sunsets, moon rising and even rainbows.
If you walk a little further you’ll arrive at Takapuna center, where you find some really nice shops, cafes, restaurants, vintage shops, a nice book store, and so on. Became totally enchanted by this part of the town and definitely need to come back to try more cafes and restaurants.
Karla was really kind and I felt save being close to her home. Loved it.
As it is close to mais road, in the pick traffic times can be a little noisy (also I was unfortunate to have a construction close by) - but nothing that some music didn’t help (and I didn’t even needed speakers, just let on my phone). And was not the whole day, so for me was not a big disturbing. At the sleeping times I felt really quiet and slept really well during my whole stay.

Handy to the location I needed to travel to over two days - limited morning traffic. Parking could be tricky on road, as near a corner, but I managed to have parking right outside the whole time. Safe, secure and warm. The hosts in home next door were very accommodating and friendly. I would consider staying again if I needed to be in that location again.

I had an absolutely fantastic stay at Karla’s Airbnb! Karla is an amazing host truly one of the best I’ve encountered.
She went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed, sharing insider tips about the best cafes, restaurants, and shops in the area. The location is unbeatable, right next to Takapuna Beach, which made my trip even more special.
The place itself feels like a warm, welcoming home I loved every moment of it. Karla’s thoughtfulness and hospitality made this an unforgettable experience.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a perfect getaway!

Location was great
No Off street parking after phoning to confirm that they did have it.
Very noisy location corner of Lake road and Bayview road. One of the busiest roads in Auckland.

Great location and nice layout
Sorry to have to report a couple of things and get that you might be dog lovers but the smell of dog in the accommodation was real bad. Plus the toilet doesn't flush properly. These are all easy things to fix. Call a plumber and no to dogs. Or please make it known in ad that there can be dog smells. I imagine we will never hear back but just saying it as it is. Thanks

Very comfy, everything we needed for a lovely stay. Loved the size of TV & watched a movie on Netflix instead of going to movies. Self check-in was easy.

Fantastiskt fint område med badplatser, restauranger, affärer, parker och grönska mm. Man skulle vilja bo här själv! Boendet har en insynsskyddad uteplats som är trevligt att sitta på morgon och kväll i skuggan.
Vi bodde här under den varma perioden så fläkten räckte inte till. Under kvällen fick man sval luft in om man öppnade fönster och dörr, men huset ligger i ett hörn av huvudvägen med mycket högljudd trafik, så man vill stänga på natten.
