The space - The house is situated on top of a ridge, with stunning views overlooking the Manukau harbour. Surrounded by native bush and birds with all day sun. 30 minute drive to Auckland city and international airport. Close walk to French Bay yacht club and Titirangi Beach with a short 5 minute drive to Titirangi Village. Piha famous surf beach and popular tourist destination is less than a 30 minute car drive. We also have a small black cat called Benji. He likes to spend most of his time outside. He has a bed and biscuit feeder under the house. For stays over a week I will put him in a care. However for stays shorter, if Benji could be an issue for any reason please let me know and I will be happy to pop him in a cattery. This is our family home, when the house is booked out we will have alternative accommodation arrangements. From my family to yours, please treat our home with respect. Thank you. Guest access - Access to the house is up a driveway with room at the top to turn around and park two cars. Due to the views and location of the house the driveway is quite steep. Please drive slowly and in low gear and your car will make it up easily. There is a set of 6 stairs at the front and the back entrance of the house. The back staircase has a strudy hand rail. Other things to note - Please note I have one security camera located at the back entrance of the house. This is only for live feed security purposes. If you have any concerns with this, please let me know to discuss other options.

Well kept, clean and comfortable. Yes, the driveway is a tad daunting at first, BUT any car can handle it and it is worth it - driveways like this are to be expected in this area. Host was extremely quick to respond with any questions we had. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, New Zealand is an incredible Country. Thank you so much from Ontario, Canada!! ##### Laurie Higgins Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Cheryl K. 2 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gorgeous views We had 6 nights at the house. The view from the house was spectacular once you got over the hair raising drive up to the property but the views definitely made up for that. We had a lovely stay and Natalie was a great communicator. We didn’t have to wait long for responses to our questions. Very small constructive points are : it would have been good to have coat hangers in the wardrobes and a chest of drawers. We did have to live out of our suitcases as we couldn’t hang clothes Overall a really fab experience. Thank you Natalie. ##### Cheryl K.
