Great location near Titirangi and halfway between the city and the Western Beaches. Home owners live next door and were very kind and welcoming. Plenty of privacy. Easy to find everything we needed in the home.

We loved this property. We stayed for the weekend to attend a wedding nearby. The location was excellent - quiet and peaceful but handy to the Titirangi shops and other amenities. The property was bigger than we were expecting with two lounge spaces. While being more on the rustic side, it was also clean, tidy and really well equipped - especially the kitchen. Thanks for a great stay!

Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay! We were on the tale end of a seven week trip and booked your place to have a place to wind down. It was such a treat to be in nature yet close to amenities and the City for a little site seeing.

Loved this place. My partner and I stayed here for a month when we were in town with work and would happily have stayed longer. It's a great house in a beautiful spot, very peaceful and private. The house has everything you need and the hosts were very responsive whilst also leaving us to ourselves. There's great walking tracks on the doorstep and overall it is fantastic place to relax and spend time. Hope to be back again!

This was the perfect place for our family of 5 to stay during our short holiday. Unfortunately the weather kept us inside but there was plenty of room to move and we didn't feel crammed in on top of each other. Would definitely recommend

This property is in a great location for access to beaches and bushwalks with the Titirangi Village within an easy drive. The outlook is beautiful, onto natural bush. The house was well appointed, had everything we needed, although we found the beds uncomfortable. Overall we had a pleasant stay and found the hosts helpful and nice to deal with.

Ideal for my adult daughter and I to stay. Had all the basic requirements and in a lovely location with native bush and birds. Owners let us do our own thing but nice to have security that they were there if we should need them. Very easy to deal with. Thanks for letting us use the accommodation.
