John is a wonderful friendly host. His place looks out into a beautiful terraced garden. Imagine full blooming flowers in Spring, absolutely green foliage in Summer, and the rusty colours of Autumn as far as eyes can see right from the french window of the studio. The studio itself is a little lacking in space. However the bed is king size with firm comfortable mattresses, the shower and toilet is good size and comfortable, and most of all it's sparkling clean. Titirangi is a beautifully wooded suburb of Auckland at the start of the Waitakere Range. A perfect setting for nature lovers... Oh! I must not forget to mention the very affectionate early morning and evening greetings of Billy the cat
