Studio in beautiful garden next to the estuary

BeverleyRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We ended our 3 week visit to New Zealand by staying at Bob and Cheryl's in Auckland prior to our long flight home. It was a fitting end to wonderful trip to a wonderful country. Our hosts, their lovely secluded garden and the beautiful location on the estuary were perfect! The price was so low that we booked two nights but stayed one so that we could hang out because our flight home didn't leave until 10pm. We are so happy that we did!

5 Star Beachfront Living.

SantanaRating, 5 stars5 months ago

We loved staying here! We were able to communicate with the hosts with ease. The Airbnb is within walking distance of restaurants, grocery stores and everything in between. Irene is really accomodating and had come down to check on us to see if we needed anything which was nice. The facilities were great. Personally, the pictures don’t do the property justice! We were pleasantly surprised at how spacious and homely it was. Most definitely would stay here again if I’m in the area next time😊

Beach Front Apartment - Dream Lifestyle

We had a fantastic 5 night stay whilst on Auckland’s North Shore visiting friends and family. Browns Bay is a beautiful area with plenty of great restaurants and shops and the beach is one of the best in the area. The apartment is beautifully furnished with absolute beachfront views. The apartment itself is spacious and spotless and has everything you need for a long stay. We will definitely be using this as our base for future visits and recommend anyone considering this place to take advantage of it. Thank you Adele for your hospitality.

Absolute Beachfront Paradise! Milford, North Shore

NilarRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Pia was a wonderful host, welcoming us in person and making us feel right at home. Her place has the most well stocked kitchen I've ever seen in an Airbnb and it was so convenient to have little things like spices, cling wrap, etc. The apartment was furnished very thoughtfully and there is plenty of room to lounge around and relax. The location could not be better with the beach as your backyard. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here!

Auckland- Playground- Luxury Beach House-Long Term

JulieRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Had a fabulous four days staying at Morris' house while we explored the Long Bay area. Morris was a fabulous host, explained everything clearly when he met us, and allowed us an early check in, which after 30 hours of travelling was very much appreciated! The house was perfect, everything as described and a great location: walkable beach and brilliant restaurants in Long Bay Village. Food from the Malaysian, Chinese, Surf Club and the cafes were all exceptional. Lovely area and a great house to stay in. Thanks so much Morris for a lovely stay!

Beachfront Sunset Bach

OrsonRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

we've stayed at 6 bachs in Piha now, and this is the best. not cheap, but you get what you pay for. great facilities, great decor and lots of nice touches and location is unbeatable with views over the beach. one thing is that the upstairs and downstairs are 2 separate units both with their own bathrooms and kitchens. this would be great for 2 couples, one with a kid or two, but the levels are not internally connected. we just had it for the two of us and never went to the lower level.

The host was incredibly helpful throughout my stay, always available to answer any questions or provide recommendations for things to do in the area.

All in all, I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a comfortable, convenient, and enjoyable stay. It's definitely worth the price, and I would happily return in the future.

Due to a mistake with Airbnb, I had to check out later than expected but Gali was more than welcoming and accommodating. A kind, friendly and interesting host. Great location to walk down to the beach, or just hang out on the balcony and take in the views. Gorgeous, can’t wait to come back.

We had a lovely stay at Bruce and Karen’s place. The property is only meters from the beach and in a very quiet area. Walking distance from Devonport (20min) but only minutes from local cafes and restaurants. Their place was clean and comfortable, with the main bedroom downstairs and the living area / extra bedroom upstairs, complete with a view of Rangitoto and the bay. Would definitely come back!
