From the moment I arrived and met Tania and Harrison (her son) I felt welcomed. Their home is stunning. Set in a private and gorgeous part of the Whangaparoa region. With the beach within a few steps from the front door,that relaxed and positive feeling you get at the beach flows into their home. It feels like a home away from home. The private room is very spacious, neat, tidy and well presented. An added advantage of having a decent wardrobe/storage space to keep your belongings so that they can be tucked away and not take up space in the bedroom area. A decent sized bathroom as well which was also very clean and tidy, with condiments so neatly arranged upon arrival. It is very clear that Tania takes great pride in providing her guests with a nice modern space to stay without it costing a fortune. The shared living area's where guests have use of the kitchen and a lounge area is very user friendly and that homely vibe flows throughout. Although I never made it upstairs to the games room and main lounge room, the upstairs portion of Tania and Harrison's home is also welcomed to be utilised and I imagine would have great sea views and have the same spacious flow as the downstairs part of their home has. And then there are the fur babies who are all adorable, friendly and welcoming.
Tania's home is really beautiful. I felt very at ease and comfortable to come and go as I pleased without feeling awkward or uncomfortable. I cannot rate this home enough. I had such a wonderful stay. Tania is such a beautiful person from the inside out. I felt instantly welcomed. She has a great energy about her which is felt throughout her home. She is very easy to chat with I found conversations just flowed like they do when I am with friends. Tania is a down to earth, genuine lovely host. She provided superb hospitality. I felt very comfortable talking with her and her son Harrison. He is as lovely as Tania and I thoroughly enjoyed both their company.
I would happily rebook to stay with Tania and Harrison again and would also highly recommend booking. If you are looking to be near the city but not in the city, a room with privacy with your own bathroom, a beach close by and other amenities all topped off by a top quality host, then this is the perfect space. Thanks again Tania for the excellent accommodation and hospitality.
