My husband and I had a splendid stay in Titirangi at George's place. We just moved to NZ and also just got married-- we chose this house to be close to Auckland so we could sort all of the logistical hurdles of moving, but also so we could enjoy a little luxury and celebration of our marriage. We managed both with this place! It's a short if steep walk into Titirangi for a grocery shop, drinks, and/or dinner and a quick drive to Auckland for all your official business and sight seeing. Just out the door is the decadent spa, and just up the street there is access to several lovely bush trails. 10/10 Recommend.
