Auckland villas

Beautiful would be a understatement. We really loved our stay here, so much that we didn’t want to check out and instead extend our stay. Daisys home was perfect for my daughters 1st Birthday weekend. Plenty of beds, space and activites for the kids to have fun and keep busy. Pool and spa would probably have been the highlight of our stay, even though we booked during winter. House is quite isolated, so you really get the country side feeling with all the land, trees and animals (sheep, pigs). Daisy was the best host, had no problems. She was a great help in ensuring my daughters day ran smoothly. Would highly recommend this home to anyone.

Roomy living areas with plenty of outdoor space to enjoy the peaceful gardens and lawn.

Was a lovely stay, perfect for us and owner was very good to talk to. He was efficient in his replies and gave heaps of information. Would definitely stay there again in the future.

Lovely way to end a day of wine tasting on Waiheke was to stay here with the awesome views

Our weekend at the holiday house was a serene escape to a beautiful location with expansive views. From the warm welcome by host Jey to the thoughtful extra gifts, our stay was made memorable by his hospitality. While the house showed signs of age and could benefit from some maintenance, it did not overshadow the peaceful atmosphere and stunning surroundings. Overall, our experience was delightful, and we left feeling refreshed and grateful for the tranquil getaway. Thank you, Jey, for a wonderful stay!

Very clean & tidy property in the heart of Matakana.

We throughly enjoyed our stay at ‘Once Upon A Tide ‘. It was such a peaceful retreat and the views from All the rooms are stunning. The house if probably the cleanest I have stayed in and the decor and extra bits like Homemade cookies were a lovely welcome. We were only there for less than 24hrs, but it felt a lot longer and we will definitely be back!
