This was the perfect spot for for exploring the wild west coast and the Auckland area. We spent the day hiking in the Waitekeri Ranges and it was spectacular!
The room was more like an apartment as we had a separate bedroom, bathroom, kitchen/lounge all to ourselves looking out over the lovely back garden. The space is well-appointed, warm and inviting.
While we didn't get to meet Ailsa as she was away, Ian was a wonderful host! He was generous in sharing his knowledge of the area and recommendations for things to do. He made us feel entirely at home and very welcome. We wish we could have stayed longer!
