Tree-top luxury in the Waitakere Ranges | Cottage in Auckland

The spectacular views over native bush to the far-off city capture the essence of an escape to the wilds – only with a few extra luxuries.
How about a spa pool seemingly perched on the edge of infinity, huge bifold doors embracing the splendid panorama, a super king-sized bed to take in the stars, pristine bathroom and did we mention a day spa next door?
Listen to music, hike trails or cycle Scenic Drive. Come and recharge your batteries or book in for an amazing romantic getaway.
Enjoy the swooping sound of the majestic Kereru while you`re sitting on the deck having your morning coffee looking out to the native bush surrounding you. You`ll be amazed how peaceful and quiet it is.
The cottage offers double glazed joinery throughout keeping you warm and comfortable during your stay. The master bedroom is spacious, light and bright, has a large double wardrobe and a comfy super-king bed. If there are four coming to stay, the second bedroom has the lower bunk beds set up - one a single, the other a double.
Once the sun goes down, take the lid off the spa and enjoy the evening under the stars whilst soaking in the warmth of the bubbles.
You`ll love the kitchen – there`s a Miele oven, induction cooker, large fridge/freezer and the freshest water you will ever drink! Our tank is fed by a natural spring.
There`s a heatpump in the living area to keep you warm on a winters night or cool on a summers day. A Samsung Smart TV with all the Freeview channels you need to keep up with what`s happening in the world around you. Or just sit back on the couch with a glass of wine and log into your Netflix account to watch your favourite movie!
Want to go out for lunch? Head down the main driveway to the Waitakere Resort & Spa to dine at the restaurant. Open for lunch on Saturdays & Sundays between 12pm - 2pm. They even have High Tea available! Want to treat yourself and be pampered? Book a spa treatment at the Wairua Day Spa. Just make sure you book it ahead of time!
If you need some time out from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, look no further. THIS is the place to be.
Guests have access to the entire property. This is an adult only property.
There is a very steep and narrow driveway to access the property so extra wide vehicles will not make it down to the parking area. If this is the case, please park near the garage at the top of the driveway and make your way by foot.
Please note: The driveway (off the main paved driveway) is gravel so extra care must be taken at all times - particularly in the wet. Turning access is limited but achievable. Multiple cars on the property may have issues turning around. If there has been excess rain or you are not confident with the tight turning bay, we would advise parking at the top of the driveway near the garage.
We`re happy to answer any questions you have about the local area.
Our aim is to make sure you have the best stay possible. If there is anything you need during your stay please let us know by messaging us through the booking platform. We respond to requests from 8am to 8pm every day.
Less than 30ks from the CBD you can discover the dramatic west coast for an escape to remember. Beautiful Piha and wildly attractive Bethels are only 20 minutes away and the Waitakere Ranges Regional Park is on your doorstep. Titirangi village is great place to explore with art and delicious food to tempt you. Or treat yourself to an award-winning café and restaurant – Elevation Brasserie, just 3 minutes down the road.
For your safety, the spa cover is attached and locked to the deck. You will require a key to unlock it.
Please note: Only the bottom beds of the bunks are made up for guest use. One a double, the other a single.
