Such a clean and comfortable studio! Really appreciated all the special touches. We were staying for a swim competition and Kathy even set aside extra beach towels for us, though we didn't end up needing them. We loved our stay and the location is perfect. We hope to return again!
This is a great property. Would highly recommend. Beautiful grounds, cozy and extremely well-equipped cottage. We enjoyed a 4-night stay and hope to return in the future.
We had an absolute blast staying here. Kathy was such a sweetheart and was always available to answer any and all questions I had. The location is superb as it's super close to everything and easy to come out on the motorway. We will definitely be coming back.
We had a lovely stay. Kathy and Hec are terrific hosts. The studio is very warm and comfortable with great facilities and very peaceful. The location is very handy to shops and amenities and a quick drive to the motorway. Highly recommended
Cathy was very kind to let us check in early as soon as the studio was ready. Studio has everything you would need. We were also able to pick some feijoas and enjoyed them on the deck out in the sun. The sofa bed is cosy as well for the kids.The linen and bedding Cathy provides is of high quality and she also provided is with a bottle of sauv and chocolates. Parking for 1 vehicle is also available. On checkout day we met with both Cathy and Hec and had a good yarn. Very nice couple and highly recommend staying in the Studio. Cathy and Hec are very down to earth and it was a pleasure staying at their property.
We had a lovely time at this tranquil oasis! Really loved the attention to detail, eg crisp bed linen, everything provided (even mosquito repellent!) We bought an infant and owners were so accommodating by providing a portacot, highchair and bath. Very clean and tidy. Lovely, friendly hosts. Would stay here again! Thanks so much Kathy and Hec for your hospitality.
Wonderful experience staying at the Whitby Studio. Very clean, all kitted out with beach towels, deck chairs, sun shade, BBQ, Netflix, everything you could possibly need. Location is great by lovely beaches and restaurants. A great place to stay, even us Aucklanders would have never guessed that it is in Auckland! Thanks very much to Kathy and Hec for a great experience. A+++
The studio was compact and cosy for winter chills. Everything was supplied and more. Beach fantasticly close and shops around the corner. Quiet, private setting amongst the backyard treees and birds. Not too far from motorways.
Great little space with all the necessities that make the stay comfortable and enjoyable. Great hospitality will make you think about coming back if in the area.
The owners are lovely. The accomodation was immaculate and has everything you need. The area is beautiful with awesome shops nearby. Highly recommend, would definitely stay again. Thanks Kath and Hec.
Very comfortable, cosy studio. Enjoyable stay. The only 'complaint' is that the concrete steps down to the studio are a little difficult to see in the dark, maybe need a strip of paint along the edges. :)
Great experience! Clean, tidy and everything we could have wanted. Kathy and Hec took extra care with all of the little things so that it felt like a home away from home. Thanks for a wonderful stay! Highly recommend!!
Visited friends in the north shore and wanted somewhere handy for a base. This was perfect, quiet, cozy and fully equipped for all our needs. Faultless.
We will return I’m sure.

Great place to stay
Thanks to owners of the property Kathy and Hector for such a great place to stay. Quiet with great natural surroundings of plants, trees and a stream. The studio is warm and has all the euipment needed for a comfortable stay. Sky tv and wifi included. Good quality Gas BBQ was perfect for those bbq steaks, lamb chops and sausages. Only a 2 minute walk to the fantastic Mairangi beach. Supermarket, shops and restraunts also only 2 minutes walk away. My parents really enjoyed their stay. Highy recommend.

Comfortable, great value, clean and tidy. Worked well for our purposes. Friendly hosts.
We stayed here while involved in a tournament at North Harbour Hockey. Worked really well as a base, nice and close. Hosts easy to communicate with and very welcoming.
Nice little studio apartment on the ground floor of the house. Lots of light due to the large windows looking out to the well treed garden. Five minute walk to the beach and a small shopping/restaurant area. All your conveniences are within walking distance. Kathy is a great host and Hec, thanks for the tip about the Duke in Russell!
Kathy was a great host who provided a lovely warm place, comfortable bed and good amenities.

The studio unit is well set up and the owners are friendly and welcoming but not ‘in your face’. The bottle of wine, milk and chocolate in the fridge on check in were very welcome. Within walking distance of the beach and shops this is a great little place to stay. There is also a parking space in front of the garage for the person staying in the unit.

About the host
Hosted by Kathy
We both really enjoy meeting people from all over the world as we have traveled extensively and know what it is like trying to find accommodation which suits, and not having to pay a premium price for it. Our studio accommodation has been operating since late 2007 and we have been privileged to have met some very interesting people from all walks of life. We pride ourselves on the fact that we make sure that our guests have total privacy but we are here if they need us for advice.
Why they chose this property
We love living in Mairangi Bay because it has a lovely village atmosphere and is surrounded by beautiful beaches and coastal walks.
It is a special place in the 'City of Sails' which we like our guests to enjoy.
What makes this property unique
Beautiful beaches (Mairangi, Campbells & Murrays Bay) and coastal walks only just a few doors away. Some really great shops and restaurants a two-minute walk down the road. On main bus route to other parts of the North Shore and Auckland City.
