The house sits on a sunny top hill Waitakere bush section with plenty of opportunities for hiking and walking, many walks start at our doorstep, mountain biking and cycling . We are also close to all West Coast beaches for surfing or fishing.
We live in the main house. For guests we offer:

Lounge with TV, DVD and books, games for entertainment. Private sunny deck overlooking Manukau Harbour. Off street parking for one car in front of the flat.
