About this homestay
Hey I’m Sam! A former university lecturer, arts lover, and enthusiastic home cook and gardener, I live in the north shore of Auckland, in the relaxing beachside suburb of Hauraki, close to shops, cafes, restaurants, the bays, cycle and walking trails, and within easy access to the motorway system and the CBD. Beautiful Takapuna, Narrow Neck, and Milford Beaches are in close range.
My home borders the Northboro Reserve, and is in a very quiet residential street. It’s a large property with ample spaces both inside and outside to enjoy and relax in.
There are two guest rooms available, sharing a modern bathroom. The bigger room has a queen bed and private library for the guests, the other a king single bed. Both enjoy the use of the entire south wing. In addition, a cosy living room and large sitting room are available to relax in, as well as ample outdoor garden areas to read a book, take a nap, or enjoy a drink or do some laptop work!
Plenty of activities to engage in locally for entertainment, leisure, fitness, and relaxation. A substantial range of retail shops, cafes, and restaurants in easy driving or walking range.
Excellent beach walks including Takapuna, Milford, Narrow Neck and Cheltenham, as well as nature reserves.
Very close to bus stations, and my home borders the Takapuna to Milford cycle and walking trail!
Ferries a short drive away or longer walk departing from Devonport and Bayswater to the CBD and other destinations.
Much to explore across the city, from art galleries and museums to markets, clubs, bars, day walks, west Auckland beaches and forests, boutique shops, and cultural and sporting events aplenty.
