Cleaning should be more thorough - the shower wasn’t cleaned properly, there were hair everywhere, the floors were not vacuumed/washed and some of the utensils would need replacement!

Great value well located homely accommodation

Stayed for 10 nights and found the house homely and welcoming.Not as far away from the Titirangi Village and Huia/Whatipu as we expected, but your own transport is recommended as the hosts stated. 100% score for location to some popular local walks.Some small improvements would enhance the experience:Check and repair the appliances: microwave display wasn’t working properly and toaster would jam the toast (which I repaired).Tidy up the outside, bit of an waterblast would do wonders and clean weeds from garage guttering. Couldn’t use the small deck outside the lounge until I removed the wasp nest (small job, no drama).Stocktake the fridge, as most of the items were well past expiry date (like the dairy in Titirangi Village) and these goods may have been left by previous guests.Having a small of coffee and sugar for guests would be nice. Travelling on a rainy public holiday, we had to take a trip back out to buy tea, coffee and sugar.Bed comfort is subjective but we found the beds not that comfortable or supportive.In spite of the small things above we had great time in Titirangi in this property, hosts were pleasant and available when needed, but like them, prefer not to invade their privacy unless absolutely necessary.Would we stay again? Definitely, rustic and homely, great value, well located.

roomy and peaceful

We loved this property. We stayed for the weekend to attend a wedding nearby. The location was excellent - quiet and peaceful but handy to the Titirangi shops and other amenities. The property was bigger than we were expecting with two lounge spaces. While being more on the rustic side, it was also clean, tidy and really well equipped - especially the kitchen. Thanks for a great stay!

Beautiful spot

Loved this place. My partner and I stayed here for a month when we were in town with work and would happily have stayed longer. It's a great house in a beautiful spot, very peaceful and private. The house has everything you need and the hosts were very responsive whilst also leaving us to ourselves. There's great walking tracks on the doorstep and overall it is fantastic place to relax and spend time. Hope to be back again!

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.
