This is an excellent location for business or leisure travellers being 35 -- 40 minutes to Auckland Airport or central City, yet out of the city rush. Pukekohe
is largely a rural town on the outskirts of the Auckland Super City. We have a large range of sporting facilities close by and there are excellent Restaurants, Cafes and Clubs in our town.
Built in five blocks, the units are nicely spaced around the boundary of the property to give the feel of openness and calm. The wrap around design makes the property very secure and although not enclosed the central area is in lawn for you to relax on and is like a courtyard. There are some toys there for the children (big and small). Our premier block is located at the back of the property and are the quietest rooms.
