Staying here was a beautiful, charming and peaceful experience. Dave was very friendly. He showed us around and provided us with some great maps of nearby nature trails and attractions, and told us a bit about the trees and local area. The chalet also had a couple of books on native wildlife, which we really appreciated. As the location is a bit further out from Auckland, we found Google Maps very helpful. The chalet is ideal for someone who wants to get away from the hustle-bustle and enjoy nature while still being only 30mins out from the city. The suburb of Titiranga is gorgeous and has a wonderful little village with some great restaurants like Deco Eatery.
