Loved this place. My partner and I stayed here for a month when we were in town with work and would happily have stayed longer. It's a great house in a beautiful spot, very peaceful and private. The house has everything you need and the hosts were very responsive whilst also leaving us to ourselves. There's great walking tracks on the doorstep and overall it is fantastic place to relax and spend time. Hope to be back again!

Skye’s Rest
Skye’s Rest is a wonderful place to stay. It isn’t fancy, but it is very clean and very comfortable. It is a bit of a drive from the city, but the forest walks that start right from the door are great. It is quiet, except for bird song, and the occasional car or walkers going up to the trail head and our host, Jason, was extremely helpful with information about the area. We will gladly return there at the earliest opportunity.

Lovely peaceful cottage
This property is in a great location for access to beaches and bushwalks with the Titirangi Village within an easy drive. The outlook is beautiful, onto natural bush. The house was well appointed, had everything we needed, although we found the beds uncomfortable. Overall we had a pleasant stay and found the hosts helpful and nice to deal with.

We really enjoyed our stay, the bach is well equipped to keep the kids fed, happy, warm and occupied. Plenty to do in the immediate area with bush walks and beaches. Great to wake up to a regular native birdsong alarm clock in the tree outside. Will be returning. many thanks to the hosts.

Ideal for my adult daughter and I to stay. Had all the basic requirements and in a lovely location with native bush and birds. Owners let us do our own thing but nice to have security that they were there if we should need them. Very easy to deal with. Thanks for letting us use the accommodation.

What a quaint little place to stay at!! Our hostess were lovely and very helpful with our booking process! We were very excited that we found a few cashes along the hiking trail as we are avid geo cashers!! Even though our stay had rain everyday we made the best of our outings out and around the area! Piha beach was fabulous even though we had a slightly rainy day, still was able to get our toes wet. It was lovely to see all the christmas lights, Christmas at the crossing display was absolutely beautiful!! Coming from a snowy Canadian winter to a summer New Zealand christmas has been an amazing experience!!! Thank you Salomé & Jason
