About the host
Your host
We’re a local family who genuinely love our home in Gulf Harbour and take pride in creating a warm, welcoming stay for our guests. We know what makes a family holiday enjoyable — comfort, convenience, and little touches that help you feel at home straight away.
We’re approachable, responsive, and want every guest to have a great experience — whether that’s sharing local recommendations, making check-in easy, or ensuring the home is beautifully prepared for your stay. Most of all, we hope guests treat our home with the same care and respect they would their own, and in return, enjoy everything this special part of the coast has to offer.
Why they chose this property
We chose Gulf Harbour because it offers the best of both worlds — a peaceful coastal setting with plenty for families to enjoy, while still being an easy trip into central Auckland. What we love most is the relaxed holiday feel: marina views, beautiful beaches nearby, coastal walks, playgrounds for the kids, and a real sense of space. It’s the kind of place where mornings start slowly with a coffee in the sun, days can be spent exploring the coast or out on the water, and evenings feel calm and quiet.
It’s also incredibly convenient — close to shops, cafés, ferries, golf courses, and family attractions, while feeling tucked away from the rush of city life. For us, Gulf Harbour feels like a hidden gem, and we love sharing that experience with guests.
What makes this property unique
Our home in Gulf Harbour is a true family home — warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully set up for both relaxation and connection. What makes it special is the feeling of space, comfort, and easy living.
Guests love the open-plan living areas, indoor-outdoor flow, and peaceful setting that makes it easy to unwind. For families, there’s room for kids to play, spaces to gather together, and all the practical comforts that make travelling with children easier.
Unlike a standard holiday rental, our home feels lived in, cared for, and full of character — more like staying in a beautiful home away from home than a temporary accommodation. Whether you're here for a family getaway or a quiet coastal escape, it’s a place designed to be enjoyed.
