    Stayed for 10 nights and found the house homely and welcoming.Not as far away from the Titirangi Village and Huia/Whatipu as we expected, but your own transport is recommended as the hosts stated. 100% score for location to some popular local walks.Some small improvements would enhance the experience:Check and repair the appliances: microwave display wasn’t working properly and toaster would jam the toast (which I repaired).Tidy up the outside, bit of an waterblast would do wonders and clean weeds from garage guttering. Couldn’t use the small deck outside the lounge until I removed the wasp nest (small job, no drama).Stocktake the fridge, as most of the items were well past expiry date (like the dairy in Titirangi Village) and these goods may have been left by previous guests.Having a small of coffee and sugar for guests would be nice. Travelling on a rainy public holiday, we had to take a trip back out to buy tea, coffee and sugar.Bed comfort is subjective but we found the beds not that comfortable or supportive.In spite of the small things above we had great time in Titirangi in this property, hosts were pleasant and available when needed, but like them, prefer not to invade their privacy unless absolutely necessary.Would we stay again? Definitely, rustic and homely, great value, well located.

    We loved this property. We stayed for the weekend to attend a wedding nearby. The location was excellent - quiet and peaceful but handy to the Titirangi shops and other amenities. The property was bigger than we were expecting with two lounge spaces. While being more on the rustic side, it was also clean, tidy and really well equipped - especially the kitchen. Thanks for a great stay!

    Great location near Titirangi and halfway between the city and the Western Beaches. Home owners live next door and were very kind and welcoming. Plenty of privacy. Easy to find everything we needed in the home.
