kiwi Hosts, Kathy & Hec

We have lived on Auckland’s North Shore all our lives and especially love living here in Mairangi Bay which has become our home for the past 20 years.  We both enjoy meeting people from here in New Zealand and from all over the world, and like to think we can promote our beautiful country.  We have both travelled extensively over the years and know what it is like to find accommodation which suits and does not cost a small fortune. We also like to offer our guests total privacy, but we are here if they need us for advice.

Our studio accommodation has been successfully operating for 15 years now (since 2007) and we feel that Mairangi Bay is such a lovely place to live that we want to be able to share it with our guests from around the world. 

We look forward to meeting you all soon.

Cancellation Policy

Free cancellation. No Prepayment needed.

If you must cancel your booking due to unforeseen circumstances, we would really appreciate it if you gave us as much notice as possible so we can advertise again and not lose our valued business.

House Rules

Smoking is permitted outside only, please use the ashtray provided.

We apologise we cannot accommodate your pets as we have two cats who are very timid (although once they get used to you, they might be more sociable).

Parties and events are not permitted.

We hope you understand that we ask you to refrain from cooking strong-scented foods, i.e., curries, fish, etc. Unfortunately, the odour lingers in the studio for a long time and is not pleasant for our next guests.
