One off street parking space is available outside rooms, with additional free parking across the road. Lockbox is located on the post outside the rooms.

Other things to note
We share our property with our inquisitive cats, Pablo and Kiki. They love to explore and may occasionally peek into the guest area. If they visit without an invitation, feel free to gently shoo them back out again - they don't mind!
Note: The guest accommodation is on the lower level of our home. While it is private, some normal household noise (such as footsteps) may be heard at times.

About the host

Hosted by ingrid

Host profile image
Originally from the rural community of Matamata — known to many as the home of Hobbiton Movie Set — I spent many of my younger years travelling before raising my children in the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula.

I now live in this scenic coastal pocket of Auckland with my partner, Pedro, where I enjoy hiking, beach walks, catching live shows, spending time with friends, and meeting people from around the world.

Being a host has been a lovely way to connect with travelers and share a place that I genuinely love living in.

Why they chose this property

Milford is one of Auckland’s most sought-after coastal villages, and it’s easy to see why. The beach is practically on our doorstep, while the Milford Marina directly across the road provides a constantly changing waterfront scene of boats and harbour views.

Guests love the relaxed seaside lifestyle here. Scenic coastal walks stretch in both directions along the shoreline, offering beautiful ocean views and fresh sea air. Just across the road you’ll also find a much-loved local coffee cart — the perfect way to start a morning stroll.

A short five-minute walk brings you to the heart of Milford Village and the stylish Milford Centre, home to boutique shopping, cafés, restaurants, and everyday conveniences including a supermarket. The village atmosphere is vibrant yet relaxed, making it a lovely place to explore on foot.

When you’re ready to venture further, the center of Auckland is only a 15-minute drive away, opening up endless dining, shopping, and entertainment options.

What makes this property unique

What makes our property special is the combination of location, comfort, and relaxed coastal living. Everything is within easy walking distance — the beach, marina, cafés, restaurants, boutique shopping, and the stylish Milford Centre.

After a day exploring beautiful Milford Beach and the surrounding coastal walks, guests can unwind back at the property in the private spa pool. The unit itself is cozy, thoughtfully equipped, and designed to feel like a comfortable home away from home.

With its central location in Milford, relaxed vibe, and everything you need close by, it’s an easy and enjoyable place to stay whether visiting for a short getaway or a longer stay.
