Auckland

Down a private driveway with tall palm trees, this five-bedroom home will transport you, making you forget how close you are to the city’s vibrant downtown. An easy drive from the airport, it’s a taste of luxury without having to wander off the beaten path. Modern Life Under the Hood is a budget alternative to hotels and a guest favourite. It’s not hard to see why. Between the spacious interior, inviting open layout, and unique modern features, this getaway treats guests like royalty. A bright, open floor plan with elegant polished flooring dominates the main level, with a sumptuous entry sprawling into the lounge, dining, and fully-equipped kitchen - with a coffee machine provided. Modern decor ties the space together with tasteful splashes of colour, and the wraparound couch offers ample seating for larger groups. Traipse up the open staircase to spend a lazy afternoon in the sunroom, where an angled glass roof catches the light. Full windows along the hallway look out to the front courtyard, where outdoor furniture and a barbeque await. Sunlight streams into the skylights in the upstairs rooms. With four queens and three single beds, this holiday home is ideal group accommodation for large families, sports teams, school groups, or corporate groups. It has more than enough character without added features, but the automatic massaging toilets are certainly a talking point. Heat pumps in every room ensure comfort even in the winter, and the carport can accommodate three vehicles. Offering everything you need and more, this stunning haven is sure to make your holiday a success! $500 security deposit applies when you book this house.
