About the host
Hosted by KatherineFa3
My husband John and I moved from Auckland city to the Tāwharanui Peninsula in 2015. We love it here and have never missed city living once!
Prior to living in Tāwharanui John and I had corporate careers in telecommunications and project management. We still do consulting work from home and travel to Auckland for work from time to time.

Why they chose this property
We love the peace and quiet and the abundance of bush and birds. We built the bush hideaway studio specifically for short term rental in late 2021.
What makes this property unique
Lovely bush views, wonderful bird life, privacy and a 15 minute drive to Matakana Village or five minutes the other way to Tāwharanui Regional Park. The studio is small and rustic but fully equipped for travellers looking for privacy, seclusion, and the beauty of nature. There is so much to do here and it's classic New Zealand.
