A comfortable home in a peaceful location! It's close enough to the city to be convenient, but still manages to feel like a rural getaway. The property is beautiful, and the hosts are friendly and easy to communicate with. We're new to the Auckland area, and this was a nice place to have a bit of a holiday before getting into our own home!

Beautiful landscape. Good Equipment in the house. Very friendly owner!
Beautiful spot, peaceful retreat, only downside is the "smart" TV didn't have any useable, useful apps like Netflix etc. Decor was a blast from the past, but that gave a Bach like feel to the place, so if that's what you're looking for, you'll love this place!

About the host
Hosted by The Haven
We are in our seventies are vegetarians and love the outdoors and garden and enjoy hosting people from all walks of life. Our property offers peace and tranquility if you want some time out. We also have a two-bedroom cottage on our property called Palm Haven and we have achieved super host status for many years. The house is very clean and as we live on-site can help in most ways so please don't hesitate to ask. We also have a little miniature fox terrier named Babe who is very quiet and friendly and our grandaughter's pony who lives up the hill. We have an abundance of bird life and plenty of fresh air and we are so thankful for our health and the good life we have.
