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.

Tranquil and cozy home

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.
