About this Holiday House

Enjoy some peace in this stylish, creative little studio. Set in an acre, tucked away from the family home, you can sit on the deck and watch the clouds drift by or get out and about in the wild of the Waitakere Ranges. Local Armour Bay is perfect for jumping on the paddle board or kayak and there are waterholes 10 minutes away. Tramp all day or stay close, hunker down and restore body and mind with a private qigong/taiji session, on request with your hosts.

There is substrate to cover your business and essential oils to sweeten the deal if needed, which I leave on the seat.

We have a 'humanure' composting station 25m from the cabin.

Special Attractions and Activities Nearby

The cabin is set in the foothills of the Waitakere Ranges, home to our famous Auckland West Coast Beaches - Whatipu, Piha, Karekare and more. The ranges have many short and long walks including the Sir Edmund Hillary Trail. We are a 10 minute drive from the cafes and bars of Titirangi with the impressive Lopdell House Art Gallery and only 35 minutes from the viaduct harbour on the Waitemata harbour. The nearby Manukau harbour beaches are perfect for a stroll, you can fish from Cornwallis wharf or visit scenic Huia with its waterholes and magnificent cliffs heading further west into the ranges. A SPECIAL EXPERIENCE WE OFFER: Check out my husband's website if you are interested in a private martial arts session - www.quintinderhamschoolofmartialarts - he's also featured in Bertrand Remaut's documentary 'A Generation of Peaceful Warriors' :-). We have a beautiful private deck where you can experience a gentle stretch and breath session among the canopy of natives and with the sound of the birds. Please ask to book if you would like to try it.
