Fantastic location and great hosts

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is unbeatable if you enjoy the outdoors as you are on the footstep of the Waitakere ranges with a great walk/hike on your doorstep. View from the balcony is incredible! Apartment has everything you need and is comfortable.

Great mountain top view of bay & Aukland from porch

Windy road up the mountain but only 30 minutes from Aukland. Serene mountain top location without neighboring houses and close (100 m) to hiking tracts. Often great sunrises.

Fantastic spot and great hosts!

Great place to stay and Sandra and Michael are wonderful hosts. My partner and I stayed here for two weeks and the place is well equipped, clean, comfortable and very peaceful with a beautiful view. A perfect little spot, private deck to enjoy the sun and the scenery. Would highly recommend. As an added bonus there are some walking trails at the end of the drive and it’s a nice stroll into Titirangi. We look forward to staying here again!

Perfect location for our stay while visiting family. The unit was warm, and had everything we needed for our stay. The view was picturesque, beautiful! The only thing that could do with replacement is the shower rose, but this is just a suggestion.

Titirangi hideaway

Our second time staying at this property. Sandra went out of her way to be helpful, accommodation was spotless and had everything we needed for our two night stay. Road to house and driveway a but dicey after the recent floods, but sure this will get fixed soon. Definitely recommend.

Very Nice Hosts. Have Everything We need. Spacious and All the Little Touch.

Michael and Sandra are wonderful hosts. This is the second time we stayed there. Both time exceeded our expectation. We do need a car but the location is brilliant as it is away from the business of city, the view of sunrise and sunset, there are restaurants and eateries within driving distance of 5 minutes, there are walking tracks nearby, all the little touches just make our stay a memorable one.

Beautiful views, abundant bird life and great location.

Titirangi cottage is well equipped with everything that is needed for a great stay. It was lovely to see the Californian Quail, Wood pigeons and Fantails. Eventhough the owners were overseas we really appreciated the communication and thoughtfulness making sure we were comfortable in their cottage. Thankyou for a memorable stay. All the best.

We really enjoyed our weekend here. Great place to stay if you want a quiet weekend away. We had plans on a venture of the Waitakere Ranges but given the weather we decided to stay in and watch Te Matatini which was great. The bed was not the best given our mature age and there was a strong odour going through the flat that we needed to the dehumidifier everyday for.
