Gorgeous house. Very cozy and set up well for children. Beautiful views.

The 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.

Lovely and clean, really well supplied with everything you need. A real gem. We had a wonderful time

Peaceful and quiet, gorgeous, clean and comfortable, with lovely hosts.Would absolutely stay again!

Clean, 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.
