About this property
Spacious hideaway with stunning harbour views
Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway.
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. Thank you

About the host
Hosted by Natalie
I’m originally born and bred in Auckland New Zealand. I am a single mum with two teenage children and we love living out in Titirangi and we adore our home. This is a great way to earn an extra little bit of money on the side for us as a family to enjoy life.
Why they chose this property
We love the native birds, and peace and tranquility. We also love opening up all the windows in summer to let the fresh air through and listen to all the beautiful native bird song
What makes this property unique
this property is located at the top of the hill that is private and peaceful. The views over the Manakau Harbour are particularly beautiful with the sun rises in the morning and sunsets in the evening with the city lights glowing in the distance.
