I keep seeing this Penlink but i can't quite find info on what it actually is?

 

It's the Auckland council equivalent of the Spanish word mañana, but without the sense of urgency.

At least it's started now! I'm in Gulf Harbour. As other's have said, a lovely spot if you don't have to go anywhere. Can't comment specifically about Stanmore Bay but it's the commute that will make or break things. I travel for work so it doesn't affect me, but my partner has just switched jobs (this week) after commuting to the CBD for about a year. It was really hard on her. Maybe tolerable if you earn mega bucks, but added at least two hours to her work day.
