About this property

Whangaparaoa Retreat with jaw-dropping views

This is the ideal destination for a relaxing break or that special occasion you have been planning! It is perfectly suited as a resting point, if you are touring the country, with easy access to some of Auckland's best beaches. Also an easy destination for that break from the city, with all it's hustle and bustle, and is easily accessed by the motorway (45 mins from Auckland CBD - in non rush hour traffic!) or from Gulf Harbour Ferry (collection from ferry terminal can be arranged). The ferry arrives at the Gulf Harbour Marina, which is well worth a visit (only 10 minute drive from property). The other attractions of the area include (as mentioned previously) fantastic beaches (at least 3 or 4 of these within 5 minute drive from property), along with local shopping mall and spectacular restaurants for those lazy evenings. If you are a fitness buff, there is a leisure centre (also only 5-10 minutes drive or 20 minute run!) with a pool, and other facilities. The topography of the Whangaparaoa Peninsula also offers challenges for those uphill runs or biking, with spectacular views all along the way!!
The major attraction of this destination, however, is without a doubt, the outstanding views which almost instantly, compel you to stop and drink in the wonder of it all!! It provides that resting place which allows you to catch up with yourself and/or your partner/family, and to recharge those batteries.
Perfect for a couple or 4 people. Great destination for a family breakaway . The rooms are on the ground level of my house (not a detached dwelling).

Amazing views, impressive sunrise!
Denise was very prompt in communications. The views were amazing and we had dinner on the deck in the sea breeze. Best shower in all our stays in NZ. The proximity to Auckland was a benefit as we were heading to a lunch.

Spectacular views
Great little property and the views are stunning. The beds are incredibly comfortable and the unit is very clean. Having to cook outside was a bit challenging as it rained while we were staying but apart from that the property is fantastic. Communication was a bit challenging as the owner was very busy, and hadn’t realised that we had arrived at the property. However she rectified the problem and told us how to get in. She’s a great host, really lovely, and even gave us some delicious home baked treats.
