John and Swava have set up a perfect AirBnB. Their home sits in a beautifully lush and serene setting, while still being just a stone’s throw from central Aukland. The room is fully private and set up with everything you need for a morning coffee. We loved sitting on the porch and looking out at the woods. They also invited us up for a drink, and gave us great recommendations for dinner in the area. The Visitor Center for the Waitakere Ranges was also super helpful, and we enjoyed a lovely coastal walk on the Mercer Bay Loop during our time near Titirangi.
