family friendly 3BR flat - 3min walk to the beach - self contained

The property was spacious and had a fabulous kitchen facilities. The host was kind and provided bread, eggs, cereal for breakfast which was vey much appreciated. It was wet and cold for the 4 days and the heat pump kept us warm the entire time. We would definitely book again.

Nothing

Excellent stay. The flat was clean with all the amenities needed, and more! Plenty of staples for breakfast, more than enough towels and essentials, toys for the kids to play with, lots of dishes for the adults and kids, clean and comfortable, and a cot was even provided for the baby. Excellent location walking distance to the beach, and close enough to the city without all the hustle ans bustle right on your doorstep. Plenty to do in the area with a short drive to Albany and Brown's Bay. Fantastic value for money, and very accommodating hosts. Will definitely be staying again on our next visit to Auckland!

Could not fault it.

Warm welcome by Crystal! Appreciated the breakfast items and the location was ideal for our needs.

A bit of maintenance is needed in the bathroom.

Quiet location, close to shops, restaurants and beach. Easy drive to CBD. Great apartment with loads of space.

Absolutely loved our stay here. Such a beautiful area. Close to everything you need - a beautiful beach just around the corner. Beds super comfy, great water pressure in the shower. Literally everything you need in this place.

It is home away from home. Loved it very much.

Nothing to dislike

Excellent location, short walk to a lovely beach then lovely walk along the beach walk way to the next bay with cafes and playground. We had a lovely morning walking with the kids to the next bay. Accommodation was very comfortable, with thoughtful touches like toys, games and books for the kids. Easy to find, access and the hosts were great.

Very friendly, a good price, and a place where you can go to relax with your family.

Schöne Wohnung mit 3 Schlafzimmern, sehr gut ausgestattete Küche, gute Lage, würden wir wieder buchen, Waschmaschine und Tumbler findet man, wenn man durch die Hintertüre raus geht.

Harte Kissen, der Teppich hätte wieder mal eine Reinigung nötig, die Spinnweben dürfen entfernt werden

There was a good supply of fruit, bread, milks, yoghurt , eggs and spreads. Cereals were limited to instant oats and corn flakes. The bathroom/shower was well stocked. The beds were comfortable . Our 4th adult slept on the floor of the lounge/dining room. All males and elderly , we stayed 3 nights while the helpful hosts went on holiday. It was a quiet residential street, with hungry eels below the driveway. A nice walk (don't trip over the ducks!) to and about Murrays Bay was followed by good food at Cinnamon Club (no booking needed). A sound base for our tennis team.

Perhaps lighter and less lumpy duvets. One of us was hoping to have a top sheet supplied. No TV was watched . But Sky Sport would have been nice to have, even though the Crusaders won .

Kevin und Crystal waren tolle, freundliche und zuvorkommende Gastgeber. Der gesamte Aufenthalt war von einer familiären und freundschaftlichen Atmosphäre geprägt, so dass man sich direkt Willkommen gefühlt hat. Die tolle Lage, in der Nähe zim Strand, ist ebenfalls ein tolles Qualitätsmerkmals.

Es hat uns alles gefallen.

Great, lots of space easy parking.

Host was so accommodating.. so many goodies on arrival and coffee machine added bonus. Will stay again

Nothing

Exactly what we (family of 5) were after. Extremely easy to check in and out, we were warmly greeted upon arrival and hosts were accomodating to the change of check in time. Great communication before arrival. The kids enjoyed the themed rooms and there was plenty of activities to keep them busy. We appreciated the wifi, coffee machine and heating in all the rooms. Overall a fantastic stay and great value for our 2 night stay :)

I can’t think of anything.

Close to the beach

Me and my family especially my daughters got bites I have seen cockroch and lizard inside the house

The flat was perfect for our family, the host was very friendly and welcoming. Clean and tidy and had everything we needed.

Location was great, very quiet, and had everything you need. Love the ability to make fresh coffee

Great location, very clean and well appointed.

Such as a nice place to stay and host were so welcoming thanks so much again for being such great host

Nothing all all

Excellent location for our needs, also handy to the beach.

Easy for a quick overnight stay, 5 beds for The whole family. The owner was kind, easy to communicate with and prompt to respond to any correspondence.

No washing machine access, but it was not listed as having one so not a negative against them.

Great location, and nice big space with 3 bedrooms. Coffee machine, oven, washing machine all really handy.

The hosts were really lovely. They have gone to a lot of trouble to make the place accommodating. They left a large amount of breakfast makings and the bathroom had little thoughtful extras - so kind! Kelvin even rearranged the twin room for us to accommodate 2 adults. The house is literally a 3 minute walk to the beach!

Only downside (and this was minor) was we thought the twin room had 2 beds but in fact had a single bed with a roll away bed with a mattress for a child. It wouldn't stop me staying again

Great location, lots of space and everything you need for long term stay including kids toys. Host Crystal is lovely.

lots of food selection left in the room

Could hear minimal walking etc from upstairs

Great location. Had everything we needed. Quiet.

Nothing.

Friendly owner. Facility is fine and clnan.

location was awesome, the hosts are super nice and friendly. the neighbourhood is well off and the beach is close by.

public transport, but then again that is not a strength of NZ

Perfect facilities and high quality products So generous and thoughtful Perfect family place for our little one Owner is so friendly and responsive

Spacious, close to where we needed to be, yet tucked away in the quiet - exactly what we needed

At first we were unsure of how to check in, however we saw where the key was kept. When we arrived we were greeted with a range of essential food, and we saw extra snacks waiting for us in the cupboard (thank you), the coffee machine had coffee beans waiting and there was a folder that gave all the information we needed for our stay. It really was a home away from home. Our children appreciated the toys and the extra's in the room (the projector, the books, the games, etc) We met the hosts and they were very accommodating and welcoming. We contacted our hosts through the app and they always responded. The key was was a little difficult to pull out from the door and there was a small issue with the bathroom door handle, but it wasn't major and considering that this place accommodates children, it is kept in an excellent condition to me. The neighbourhood is quiet, and the people there were friendly, we walked to the beach and saw the restaurants across the road. The actual township is in close driving distance. This was our first experience with an air BnB and it was excellent. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Friendly hosts, attention to detail with basic food left for us. The accomodation was extremely welcoming and comfortable for the family and off road parking plus being near to the beach and amenities was a bonus.

N/A.

The host was very nice, friendly and easy going lady, the apartment was nice and tidy, provided with most the equipments required for our stay, the location is great close to the beach and shops.

We were coming late at night and Crystal provided us with a whole basket of goodies so that we could make breakfast in the morning without the need to go to the grocery store. This was a very nice surprise and much appreciated. The apartment is small but neat and has everything one might need. Nice little backyard with lime trees. 40 min drive to Auckland downtown.

Nothing really.

Comfortable and clean and the owners were happy to help with anything and polite lovely people

Difficult to open the door with the key

The thoughtfulness of all the little “extra” snacks etc was so lovely!

The bed in the main room was a little firmer than I’m used to. It was still comfortable, I just prefer a softer bed.

Bedrooms for everyone. Quiet. Great price.

What is it with the no fly screens in NZ?

Snacks left for us were really appreciated

Very well set out. Provided snacks, which was very appreciated. Place was well set out. Provided lots of information about local walks and local food options. Would fully recommend staying here.

Very happy staying there. With TV could have had freeview app to be able to watch local TV. Also should have provided video at start how to remove key from lock and to lock door.

Wonderful accommodation. Our family were very comfortable here. The kids loved the toys and the soft toys on the bed were a lovely touch. Everything was clean, tidy and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped for us to cook full meals each night. Location was perfect, so close to the beach and it was easy to get where we needed to go. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Crystal and family :)

Crystal and her husband were lovely. The apartment was perfect for us and only a short stroll to the beach. It is in a great location. The apartment was lovely, spacious and had everything you could need. We were a family of 4, with 2 older girls. It worked really well with both girls having their own room. Thanks for a great stay Crystal.

Size was good, 3 bedrooms good so we all had a private space. Breakfast included was great. Very generous. Proximity to the beach

No brush to sweep up Extra teatowels would have been good.

Very homely Lots of nice little touches- toys and books for kids, cute kids duvets etc..

The owners were so lovely and accomodating. We felt at home & valued.

No issues.

Handy location for the Shore, and on a nice quiet street

the response to our request was unpredictable

Crystal and her husband were super nice. The whole accommodation was so thoughtfully decorated! They even provided breakfast with everything that you need! I highly recommend it!! 🩵

That we couldn't stay longer ;)

Lovely property, very clean and we appreciated the snacks provided. Crystal was welcoming and friendly. We had everything we needed.

Comfortable like a home.location

Nothing

Lovely home, perfect for our family with everything we needed. The hosts were lovely and the complimentary snacks and extra bits they provided for our baby gave it a special touch. Great location, nice and quiet and so close to the beach. Would definitely come back.

very easy stay and lovely hosts

Great having breakfast provided - good selection.

Cosy self contained flat. Hosts were lovely and welcoming. We'd love to stay again in the future. Thankyou

Had everything needed for living away from home. Close to beach. Nice suburban area.Kid friendly .

Nothing to fault..

we did not use all but was good

I did find a cockroach but they are every where in Auckland

Amazing location, comfy beds, full kitchen facilities, washing machine and dryer, wonderful hosts. We were there for a sporting competition so having all 'home' amenities made it such an easy and comfortable stay. Will definitely be back next year.

Breakfast selection was great and very generous. Awesome location, lovely hosts.

The accommodation is spacious, and very well suited for families with children. The hosts are accommodating and welcoming without being intrusive. The extra touches such as wide breakfast options, toiletries, family games, books etc and even kiddy treats like popcorn makes this stay a home away from home for families. The size of the accommodation is way above the normal - can fit a family of four very comfortable - more so than most accommodation on offer. A full size very well equipped kitchen with a supermarket close by means you don't have to eat out (unless you want to) and even has a coffee machine with fresh beans too. The hosts have gone over and above into providing extra touches that makes your stay even the more special - a wise choice to make this place for family based for your Auckland holiday.

Hosts left good selection of snacks and milk, cereal and fruit as well as other provisions. Was a great place to stay. Very clean. Hosts very friendly. Toys for kids. TV and books, Great location. Lots of towels and shampoo and body wash etc . Was one of the best stocked accommodations we’ve been to.

All good.

A very spacious and well equipped place to stay in East Coast Bays, with easy access to lovely coastal walks. Off street parking was great and the location was very quiet.

It wasn’t particularly warm in the middle of winter, but would be fine at other times in the year.

Absolutely LOVED our stay! Had 2 young babies that loved the bedrooms and the projector was the perfect touch. definitely recommend for anyone wanting to stay in Auckland ❤️

Great location and friendly host

The shower temp fluctuation was annoying. Living below someone means you have upstairs noise but for us it was fine as we have kids

The space and facilities were great. As a family with two young children, it was great having the bed rooms separated from the living space and good sizes with heating and cooling options. The location is excellent, close to the beach and Milford shops.

Being a downstairs of the main residence flat, there is some walking noise from above, nothing to be frustrated by but enough to notice.

Had a nice feel to it. Comfy beds. Nice breakfast. Had a movie hub projector that the kids loved. Shower had a nice pressure. Kids loved the toys.

Nothing

great having snacks supplied and coffee machine

nil

It’s very clean.Host was very lovely and loved the food basket.

Nil

Great location. Space well suited for a family of 4. Great communication from host. Good value for money.

Generally / Bathroom a bit worn.

Tidy, welcoming, kids toys, affordable = perfect really

Cosy : we felt at home ! Thank you for the food and the kids enjoy the toys. We had a really good moment at your place.

Brilliant location close to the beach and nice walks

Breakfast was great

Another double bed would have been nice instead of singles in each spare room

It was a real treat to have separate bedrooms giving our daughters some space as they usually share. The flat is set up so homely with everything you could need or want along with extras going above and beyond. The kitchen had basic food supplies and bonus snacks our girls enjoyed. The beds were comfy, and the flat was cosy. We love how close it was to restaurants, beach, mall and the competition swimming pool was only 8 minute drive away. Crystal the host was so so lovely, as she came to our rescue when our broke down short distance from leaving the property. It was cold and we were tired from busy weekend and not experienced such a breakdown. Crystal came roadside, took us to mechanic where car got towed, then very kindly took our family to a motel while our car got repaired the next day. Car repiared 5pm next day and we were home 9.30pm. Forever grateful for your kindness! Thank you very much.

There was absolutely nothing to not like. Ticked all the boxes and more!

Had everything we needed and more with the complimentary items 😍

I forgot to go for a swim

The location was great - just 5 min walk to the beach. The unit was spacious and attractive, well-appointed, light, private, and clean. There was off-street parking. The breakfast was a nice touch.

Well equipped, flexible regarding check in and out and with additional baby equipment

Breakfast was quiet few for four adults and two days.
