I felt like I had stumbled on a hidden gem when I found Michael and Jitka's home. The room was private, spacious and spotless and the food items available for my use went well beyond what is usual. The Whittaker's chocolate on the bedside table was a particularly nice touch.
I chose to stay here primarily because of the location. The West Coast beaches of Piha and Karekare and Aniwhata are only 30 -40 minutes away and it's a nice walk to Titirangi Village (uphill on the way there) or a 10minute drive. The Village has wonderful cafes, a great art gallery and shop and the view from the roof of Lopdell House is spectacular.
Both Michael and Jitka made me feel very welcome and I would not hesitate to recommend this Air BnB to others or to stay here again myself.
