City Escape w/ Hot Tub & Magnificent Forest Views

EanRating, 5 stars4 days ago

Dom’s place was amazing. Extremely private. Away from civilisation in a good way. Outdoor jacuzzi was nice to have, def a plus, had everything you ever needed. Only suggestion I have is for them to have slightly more toilet rolls and paper towels. Highly recommended!

Cliff Top Cottage Blockhouse Bay

SandraRating, 5 stars4 days ago

The house was absolutely spotless on arrival and we were early - can’t put into words how peaceful it was to sit on verandah listening to the birds and surrounded by lush tree canopies. Everything we could need was in the kitchen and we catered for 4 adults using gas BBQ for steaks from local shops. The hill is steep but usual for NZ and easily walked (slowly) we are 61 and 64. Thank you Barbara for the lovely welcoming treats including towels for the dog 🐕 and the home grown bananas! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we hope to return 💛

Tranquil hideaway & gateway to west coast beaches

MatthewRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Such a lovely peaceful place close to city but on the edge of Waitakeres and close to west coast beaches like Piha. We used it as a springboard to theatre in the city, lovely hiking around Arataki visitor centre and a comfortable drive to Piha. Close to many supermarkets. Comfortable and warm. If u like cooking as we do the full kitchen makes that easy. Lovely all round.
