"The property was really lovely and close to the beach. My only negative experience was the road noise from the main street closeby. We left the windows open and heard the noise. "

A charming modern, self contained ground floor flat, part of the hosts house, only 250m to a popular East Coast Bay beach. Private entrance, large bedroom with one queen bed, lounge/dining, fully equipped galley kitchen, bathroom with shower and separate toilet. Own outdoor area to enjoy. A perfect home away from home to explore the North Shore. No smoking, no pets, no shoes inside please. Bus stops for public transport across the road but best to have a car.
Parking ONLY available on the street, generally outside the property but being by a popular beach it can get busy and require parking further up the road, especially in summer. If this is not acceptable, please do not book. Unfortunately not suitable for people with mobility issues.
Heaters for winter, windows with bug screens and fans for summer. In order to keep the nightly cost as reasonable as possible there is no air-conditioning. Auckland summers can be humid on some days so if you require air conditioning please do not book.

Loved our stay. Thank you. It was in the perfect location for us, visiting the hockey stadium each day, but being 2 mins from the beach, meant we could swim everyday too. Apartment had everything we needed. I suppose, if I was looking for a criticism, it would that theres not a lot of outdoor space, but when youre that close to the beach, not sure it mattered. Thanks Alexandra, you were so kind and laid back, nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely stay again! :)location for us, visiting thestadium

I came here to go to my daughter's wedding. I was staying alone the first few days until others arrived. The hosts were wonderful! Showed me beaches to walk on near the home and even took me to two places to look at works from local artists. I would 100% stay here again. I felt comfortable and very welcome.

We enjoyed a lovely two month stay at the flat, which is comfy, quiet, and spotless. Our hosts were very friendly and attentive to our needs. The location is excellent - around the corner from the local beach, and within walking distance to several others. Transit stops are a few steps from the front door on a main route that runs along the North Shore. There is a small supermarket a 10 minute walk north, and several larger ones - along with a variety of other shops - about a 30 minute walk south. The area is north of the CBD but also convenient for travel by car. Would definitely stay there again.

Fabulous property in Auckland. Two minute walk to beautiful beach & beachside restaurant. Property manager was easy to deal with and a great communicator, also gave helpful ideas for local things to see and do.

6.0 / 10.0

TRUE = 5-min. walk to the local beach TRUE = Street parking ONLY NOTE: Family uses 1+ available spots at their discretion despite having VRBO guests TRUE = Accessibility; the uneven paver situation leading up to the separate entrance was potentially treacherous both day and night, especially in the rain FALSE = NOT a private unit; owners live directly above, and we could hear everything they were doing upstairs, which means they could probably hear anything we were doing downstairs (and as newlyweds, this was very uncomfortable) FALSE = Unit has a separate entrance, which is not private from the family, as it’s their home/yard, so if they’re outside walking around doing yard work or whatever (which they were quite often “because of the holiday”), they can see inside if the curtains are left open or will want to talk to you about what you’re doing/where you’re going NOTE: No A/C or screens on windows during our stay = face the mosquitos OR sweat all day/night with windows closed (I was told – after we left – that I should have asked for the dehumidifier) NOTE: Only one old, oscillating fan was available to "cool" the unit; had to be schlepped between living room and bedroom nightly (I purchased an extension cord to provide us with the best cooling position at night) NOTE: Uncomfortable, squeaky bed may be adequate for 1-2 people no larger than 125kg combined NOTE: We left 4 days early due to illness; I spaced contacting VRBO; thus, no refund offered Do Not Recommend

When we arrived, the host was painting in the flat under the pretense that she never gets the opportunity to 'fix' things because the flat is fully booked. We were living in the paint fumes the first week. It masked the mildew smell which became apparent later. We bought Damprids from Bunnings, placed them inside the wardrobe and the chest of drawers to prevent our clothes from the stink and didn't unpack most things. Alex is well aware of the issues and has a story/excuse ready for any complaint. She asked to keep the bathroom windows closed during the night to prevent the 'midges' from entering - in reality there are cockroaches (which she did acknowledge when I told her about the first one in the toilet). After my complaint of the mildew smell, Alex came to wash the bedroom with vinegar. The humidity and smell issues remained even though we kept the dehumidifier running when we were out. There is no sufficient airflow in the bedroom. When the fan broke we replaced it with the same model from Countdown. We left the receipt on the table and Alex sent a message afterwards thanking for the fan, but that she didn't want that model!! (In other words she had no intention to reimburse us). We cleaned and disinfected,but after having seen 2 other cockroaches in the bedroom, we left the flat 10 days earlier than we booked for. According to her message we can't take the NZ summer. We lived in NZ previously and know how humidity/cockroach issues should be addressed to prevent this.

As an elderly couple visiting friends in the area the accomodation was lovely, it was a short walk to the beach. Our hosts were very accommodating with nothing being too much trouble.

We love the place and have extended our stay. Alexandra is a gem....and its very good value. Recommend to anyone because you will not regret it. So many amenities just a short drive from here is a bonus.

The owner seemed accommodating at first, but surprised us with an unexpected visit,( through the inside door and unannounced), after we were in bed. Another was a surprise claim of damage (highly exaggerated) to the unit which we did not and could not have done.

10.0 / 10.0

Very comfortable, beautifully presented, clean, everything we needed. Host most approachable and helpful but also 'unobtrusive'. Lovely spot close to beach, bus stop and short drive to shops, pleasant to walk in area.The only minus is parking can at times be a little way away but seems safe. Would highly recommend we will certainly return.

We are not sure how our stay could have been any better! We are an early 70’s couple from Canada in NZ for one month of touring then stayed in Auckland for 2 weeks attending a sporting event. A very clean modern suite with a comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen and a spotless 3 piece bathroom including a heated towel rack (something we are not used to, and enjoyed). Alexandra was the perfect host, helpful with any inquiries we had of the local customs and area events and easiest travel routes. She even went as far as including us in her trips on errands in the not so near-by areas . Her price was very reasonable in comparison to others we looked at and was perfect for our travel plans. We can’t recommend this accommodation highly enough. Thank you Alexandra.

Traveling solo... I have to say, I felt very comfortable here. It was safe, it was clean, the kitchen was well-equipped AND it was a 3-minute walk to Torbay Beach. In addition the host was so kind and helpful. It all made my first week in New Zealand awesome!

Everything was good except for the lack of onsite parking. There is parking available on the street right outside the property but this can fill up and then you have to park your car where you can't see it.

10.0 / 10.0

From the Far North so traveling time was dependant on traffic. As it happened I was early but received a email to say I could arrive at 12 instead of 1 as arranged which was very convenient. I found the flat to be immaculately clean and tidy and equipped with everything one would need for a short or medium stay. For whatever reason anyone is visiting Torbay I think this accommodation would be suitable with it's proximity to the Sailing Club and beach. Approximately minute walk. First rate.
