Perfect stay
We had a wonderful few days staying at Ross’s batch, he was very communicative and helpful during our stay. The place was well equipped, clean and homely and in a beautiful location not too far from Auckland city. All in all a perfect stay. Thanks Ross!

So close to Auckland CBD but so far away
It was hard to believe we were still in 'Auckland' at this classic kiwi accommodation in such a peaceful, secluded area. The Huia area is great for some calm time away. The accommodation was really cosy with the log-burner (thanks for the wood, Ross), compact kitchen and comfy bed. It was just what we were looking for.

Beautiful retreat by the sea
We totally enjoyed staying at the Kiwi Cabin. Loved the wooden floors and the deck with ocean views. We hiked the nearby Gibbons trail which was fantastic. The ad had mentioned a jetted tub but there wasn’t one.
