Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our house is on a quiet back section in a desirable Auckland suburb. It is easy walking distance to Blockhouse Bay village which has a supermarket and many other shops, and a 25 minute walk to busy New Lynn and Lynnmall. Blockhouse Bay Beach is just beyond the village and is a lovely place for a picnic or bush walking. The bus stop on the road immediately outside our house
goes directly into the city, and links to all Auckland suburbs. Two golf courses are within 10 minutes drive from our home, and tennis courts are even closer. There are several good walks through local parks.
