A very peaceful and cozy overnighter close to Auckland - one hour from home but felt very rural and secluded. A real treat to have all the ingredients for a full continental breakfast left for us too.

Beautiful spot, lovely cosy unit, very welcoming with fresh fruit and treats. Only a wee problem, 7am we heard a bit of noise through the wall from the hosts house which after late night and wanting a sleep in wasn’t ideal. But overall a good experience.

Well maintained clean, tidy space with small kitchenette, attached to main house, with breakfast cereals supplied. A rural setting handy to Helensville. Nice views from the shared deck.
