About this apartment rental
This is the ideal destination for a relaxing break or that special occasion you have been planning! It is perfectly suited as a resting point, if you are touring the country, with easy access to some of Auckland's best beaches. Also an easy destination for that break from the city, with all it's hustle and bustle, and is easily accessed by the motorway (45 mins from Auckland CBD - in non rush hour traffic!) or from Gulf Harbour Ferry (collection from ferry terminal can be arranged). The ferry arrives at the Gulf Harbour Marina, which is well worth a visit (only 10 minute drive from property). The other attractions of the area include (as mentioned previously) fantastic beaches (at least 3 or 4 of these within 5 minute drive from property), along with local shopping mall and spectacular restaurants for those lazy evenings. If you are a fitness buff, there is a leisure centre (also only 5-10 minutes drive or 20 minute run!) with a pool, and other facilities. The topography of the Whangaparaoa Peninsula also offers challenges for those uphill runs or biking, with spectacular views all along the way!!
The major attraction of this destination, however, is without a doubt, the outstanding views which almost instantly, compel you to stop and drink in the wonder of it all!! It provides that resting place which allows you to catch up with yourself and/or your partner/family, and to recharge those batteries.
Perfect for a couple or 4 people. Great destination for a family breakaway . The rooms are on the ground level of my house (not a detached dwelling).
Special conditions:
- No smoking
- No pets allowed
- No excessive noise from 10:00pm to 7:00am
- No parties
Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$30.00 per stay); Linen (included);

Denise was a prompt and informative communicator and a welcoming host. The property was comfortable, well presented and in a fantastic location. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area

A great stay, with a great view. Denise, the owner, lives just above, and was warm and friendly. She left some of her shortbread cookies, and other treats. The beds and rooms were clean. No complaints at all…it was a great way to spend our last night in New Zealand!

A great place to stay. Well appointed and very clean. Loved that there were plenty of towels and extra bedding. And the view really is stunning.The only reason I have not rated this 10/10 is due to the wifi and cell phone coverage being unreliable - something to be aware of if you are staying as part of a business trip.Denise is a lovely host who made us feel very welcome with some special touches including enough homemade shortbread to last us the 3 days ! Communication with her was prompt - however Bookabach need to improve their portal - I found it very cumbersome and difficult to navigate (no fault of Denise)We would stay again :)
