Sunrise over Auckland, sheep at the fence.
Cresta Vista sits on 1.2 hectares of elevated, semi-rural land, so the views run right across the city. Mornings start with the sunrise, evenings end with the sunset, and on a clear night the sky is the kind you don't get in town.
There's something for everyone here: the hot tub, the gas fire, a games room for the big kids, a playroom for the little ones. We also have sheep, and if you look you might spot a wild bunny or two.
