More than just a great view
Posted 11 Nov 2019 on HotelsThe setting is really lovely, night or day, sunny or cloudy. What a view- better than the photos! The house is charming, spacious, with just the right amenities and atmosphere. The bed we slept in was super comfy. Michael and Mina are extremely nice, respectful, and easy going.
Glad we rented a car. There was a spot just for us, and we drove up (the narrow roads for this American driver take a little getting used to...but , everyone is polite.) the road to nearby cafes and markets. We had great Thai, Turkish, Veggie frittata, all the places we ate at were great. A few of those places were Road House Kitchen, Deco,The Base Cafe, as well as the Piha Cafe near that beach.
The hikes through the forest were epic. The trees and shrubs, ferns an epiphytes were brilliant! We hiked easily down to the beach one day and up the Zig Zag trail another.
The house, the streets, town and businesses were very tidy and friendly (and not crowded during the week -November)
I just wish we could have stayed longer. Maybe next time!

The most beautiful spot in Auckland. House was extremely well presented, clean, tidy, had all the appropriate necessities. The drive to and from local amenities was a small price to pay for the location that provided privacy, beauty and security. Michael and Mina were wonderful hosts and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to anyone wanting a Auckland get-away.

Clean comfort with a view
Posted 7 Mar 2018Clean, comfortable and modern while still having a homely feel.
Great views of the bay/harbour and not too far from supermarkets etc.
Safe, off street parking on a quiet street.
The air conditioning was a welcome asset along with comfortable beds.
We had all we needed to cook our meals and had lots of entertainment including Netflix in the living room and movies on the TV in one bedroom.
I would highly recommend staying here and will be doing so myself the next time I am in Auckland.

Nice stop prior to flying out
Posted 7 Feb 2018 on TravelocityThis was a very relaxing stay. Water views on both sides of property. The only negative is that swimming is not suggested nearby. Two bedroom with great library of movies. Kitchen was very nice. Owners are very pleasant and help us with area info. Great place to stay prior to fling out of Auckland in the morning.

Thank you very much. We are happy to hear you enjoyed our place. For the swimming I think you mix something up as we have never said that we cannot recommend swimming nearby. In fact we have beautiful french bay nearby and there are many other nice swimming beaches around.

An exceptionally well and thoughtfully stocked and supplied cottage to make your stay comfortable. Small details have been thought of. View to die for - amazing!
